Kerry Washington

Kerry Washington is all set to feature in and produce Hulu drama "Old City Blues". According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Scandal" star will topline the project, based on the Boom! Studios graphic novel of the same name penned by Giannis Milonogiannis.

Details about Washington's role are unclear at the time. Gore Verbinski is directing. Set in 2048, the story takes place in New Athens, on the ruins of once what was Greece but is now infested with high-tech criminals, corrupt politicians and powerful corporations.

The potential series revolves around Solano, Thermidor and the rest of the New Athens Special Police, who try to maintain peace in the city after the cyborg founder of a tech company is found dead.

"Black List" scribe Arash Amel is adapting the take for the small screen. Washington is already attached with Hulu to next star in and executive produce its "Little Fires Everywhere".
