Amazon adapting Fast Color as a TV series from Viola Davis

Deadline

Viola Davis and her husband/producing partner Julius Tennon are developing a TV version of Julia Hart's 2018 sci-fi film, which stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw as a woman with supernatural powers on the run from law enforcement and scientists who want to study and control her. According to Deadline, "the television series will follow Ruth, a former drug addict and runaway, who returns home and rediscovers the special powers she thought she lost, powers that her family have long kept hidden from the public. Three generations of black women reconnect and as they learn more about themselves and the generations who came before, they begin to realize that one of them could save the world." Hart will write the pilot with her Fast Color co-screen writer Jordan Horowitz. She'll also direct the pilot.
