“How long was I gone?” FX Networks has revealed the full trailer for a mini-series titled Kindred, arriving for streaming soon on Hulu. Adapted from the celebrated novel Kindred, by Hugo Award-winner Octavia E. Butler, this is executive produced by Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel for their company Protozoa Pictures. A young aspiring writer discovers secrets about her family’s past when she finds herself mysteriously being pulled back & forth through time to an 1815 plantation. An interracial romance threads through Dana’s past & present, and the clock is ticking as she struggles to confront secrets she never knew ran from her past. Starring Mallori Johnson as Dana James, Micah Stock as Kevin Franklin, Ryan Kwanten as Thomas, Gayle Rankin as Margaret, Austin Smith as Luke, David Alexander Kaplan, Sophina Brown, and Sheria Irving as Olivia. This is a good trailer, better than the teaser, but I’m still not hooked on this series yet. What is the point of these time-jumps? What is the mystery that she needs to solve? Take a look below.
