Atx Television Festival has announced that the first-ever virtual Saturday night marquee event will be a sneak peek and conversation with the team behind Showtime’s upcoming limited series The Good Lord Bird.
Scheduled to debut August 9, Blumhouse Television series stars Ethan Hawke, Joshua Caleb Johnson, Ellar Coltrane, Hubert Point-Du Jour, Beau Knapp, Nick Eversman, Jack Alcott and Mo Brings Plenty.
The Good Lord Bird is based on James McBride’s 2013 novel and told from the point of view of Onion (Johnson), an enslaved boy, who is part of John Brown’s (Hawke) motley crew of abolitionist soldiers during the time of Bleeding Kansas, eventually participating in the famous 1859 raid on the Army depot at Harpers Ferry. Brown’s raid failed to initiate the slave revolt he intended, but was the instigating event that started the Civil War.
Confirmed panelists include star/executive producer Hawke, author/executive producer McBride, and Johnson.
