Selwyn Seyfu Hinds has taken the transcendent words of Esi Edugyan and created a spectacular universe that brings to fruition the power of possibility," added Brown.'Washington Black' is the first TV starring role Brown has lined up since it was announced that 'This Is Us' is coming to an end with its sixth season.
