Amazon Studios has announced that it is working on a TV adaptation of director Julia Hart’s and co-writer Jordan Horowitz’s acclaimed 2018 sci-fi feature Fast Color starringed Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
As per Deadline, the potential series will revolve around Ruth, “a former drug addict and runaway, who returns home and rediscovers the special powers she thought she lost, powers that her family have long kept hidden from the public. Three Generations of black women reconnect and as they learn more about themselves and the generations who came before, they begin to realize that one of them could save the world.”
“Since the day we premiered at SXSW, there has been an incredible outpouring of grassroots support for this film,” said Hart. “We couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity to continue living in this world, with these women, and can’t imagine better partners than [JuVee Productions’ Viola Davis and Julius Tennon] and [LD Entertainment’s Mickey Liddell and Pete Shilaimon] and everyone at Amazon.”
