Oprah Winfrey is among the producers of the series. The docuseries will have six parts and reflect on the foundation and challenges left behind by the long-term practice of slavery. Hannah-Jones has worked on this topic for a long time, and now it will be more easily accessible to the public.
- House of Darkness
The 2022 film by Neil LaBute is yet to get an OTT release. Thanks to Hulu, that will be fulfilled this January. House of Darkness is another chilling retelling of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a story that doesn’t seem to go out of fashion (much like the main character).
