The series is adapted by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (“Watchmen”) from the award-winning 1979 sci-fi novel by Octavia E. Butler. The thrillingly atmospheric pilot was notably directed by Janicza Bravo, best known for directing episodes of the FX comedy “Atlanta,” and, most recently, the award-winning independent film “Zola.” Executive producers include TV creators Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields (”The Americans”) and Academy Award-nominated director Darren Aronofsky (”Black Swan”).
Stock, 33, received a 2015 Tony nomination and Theatre World Award for his outstanding Broadway debut as Gus P. Head in the starry revival of Terrence McNally’s comedy “It’s Only a Play.” In recent years, he’s been seen in the film “Brittany Runs a Marathon” and TV shows such as “Tales of the City,” “Bonding,” “The Right Stuff” and “Escape at Dannemora.”
All eight episodes of “Kindred” are available to stream on Hulu.
