Hollywood Black: MGM+ comes through with solid four-part docuseries for August
Who says solid content can’t premiere and run through the summers? Turns out MGM+ has you more than covered with its upcoming Hollywood Black docuseries slated to arrive for your viewing pleasures next month.
With August 11, 2024 firmly locked into place, it’s about seeing some of the biggest names in the biz stepping up and dishing on Hollywood’s evolution from a Black perspective. Peep the details.
Inspired by the book from historian Donald Bogle, Hollywood Black, directed and executive produced by Justin Simien, chronicles the history of cinema, but from a radically Black perspective. By unearthing personal stories from actors, writers, directors, and producers who fought for their place on the page, behind the camera and on the screen, the series provides a critical reexamination of a quintessentially American story—in brilliant color.
