Gina Prince-Bythewood is bringing one of our fiction fan-favorites to life in her film adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s debut and New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, Children of Blood and Bone (2018)—the first literary installment of the “Legacy of Orïsha” trilogy. The film, to be released by Paramount Pictures, features a star-studded cast, including Thuso Mbedu, Amandla Stenberg, Damson Idris, and Tosin Cole. The young adult romantic fantasy novel follows Zélie (Mbedu) and her older brother Tzain (Cole) as they team up with Princess Amari (Stenberg) and Prince Inan (Idris), the king’s children, to rebel against his oppressive reign. 

Donald Glover and Janine Nabers' new Amazon series, ‘Swarm,’ premiered on a dark and stormy Tuesday night in Hollywood. The horror show, starring Dominique Fishback, is part of the same universe as Glover’s Atlanta.

From co-creators and executive producers Janine Nabers and Donald Glover, Swarm, set between 2016-2018, follows Dre (Dominique Fishback), an obsessed fan of the world’s biggest pop star who sets off on an unexpected cross-country journey. Swarm is set as the Opening Night TV Premiere at the SXSW Film & TV Festival in Austin, Texas on March 10.
