LONDON (AP) — “Washington Black” just seemed destined for a screen adaptation. The 2018 novel by Canadian writer Esi Edugyan caught actor Sterling K. Brown’s eye. As he put the wheels in motion, things just started to line up in a most un-Hollywood fashion — so much so that Brown started to believe strongly the project was meant to be.

Washington Black' star Ernest Kinglsey Jr. spoke talks working with Sterling K. Brown and the surprising stunt-work the series demanded.

Based on Esi Edugyan’s novel of the same name, this Hulu limited series follows a young boy’s journey from bondage to boundless imagination.

Washington Black has been a hit with fans since it first aired, but will the show be returning for a second season?

Sterling K. Brown currently stars as Medwin Harris in Hulu's 'Washington Black.' Speaking to PEOPLE about his time on set, the actor says he once received some advice from Mark Harmon that stuck with him and helped him set the tone on the new period drama.
