Emmy winner Kerry Washington is gearing up for a new adventure, set to star in and produce “Rockaway” for Netflix.
The feature film adaptation of Diane Cardwell’s memoir, “Rockaway: Surfing Headlong Into a New Life,” will be written by NAACP Image Award winner Nichelle Tramble Spellman (creator of Apple TV Plus’ “Truth Be Told”).
