*The trailer has dropped for the highly anticipated “Kindred” series based on Octavia E. Butler’s critically acclaimed 1979 novel.
FX adapted the eight-episode season, which premieres Tuesday, December 15 on Hulu.
Per the official series synopsis: As Dana, a young Black woman and aspiring writer, begins to settle in her new home, she finds herself being pulled back and forth in time, emerging at a nineteenth-century plantation and confronting secrets she never knew ran through her blood.
“She kind of lives both in the past and the present and at different paces,” said showrunner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, adding that “the longer she stays in the past, the more exponentially harder it is for her to get home.”
