First trailer for Showtime’s The Good Lord Bird starring Ethan Hawke

May 13, 2020 by Gary Collinson

Showtime has released the first trailer and a poster for its upcoming limited drama series The Good Lord Bird. Based on James McBride’s 2013 award-winning novel of the same name, it stars Ethan Hawke as abolitionist John Brown alongside a cast that includes Joshua Caleb Johnson, Daveed Diggs, Wyatt Russell, McKinley Belcher III, and Rafael Casal; take a look here…

Ethan Hawke stars as abolitionist John Brown in this limited series based on the National Book Award-winning novel. The story is told from the point of view of “Onion,” a fictional enslaved boy who becomes a member of Brown’s motley family of abolitionist soldiers battling slavery in Kansas, and eventually finds himself in the famous 1859 Army depot raid at Harpers Ferry, an inciting incident of the Civil War. It’s a humorous and dramatic tale of Antebellum America and the ever-changing roles of race, religion and gender in American society.
