After reviewing the pilot for an adaptation of the massively beloved novel Kindred, FX has decided to move forward and order the show to series per an announcement from President of Original Programming Nick Grad. The eight-episode series from FX Productions will be helmed by Watchmen alum Branden Jacobs-Jenkins with Mallori Johnson playing the lead role of Dana, a young black woman and aspiring writer constantly in limbo between her life in 1976 and a pre-Civil War plantation.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Kindred is written by Jacob-Jenkins and, outside of Johnson, stars Micah Stock, Ryan Kwanten, Gayle Rankin, Austin Smith, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy, and David Alexander Kaplan. Janicza Bravo, the director behind the brilliant dramatic comedy Zola, directed and executive produced the pilot for the series back in July and clearly won the executives at FX over with her work bringing the show to life.
As of now, there's no word on when production begins or when the series releases, so stay tuned to Collider for more info.
