John Legend To Showcase His Acting Skills As Frederick Douglass.



R&B star John Legend is joining the cast of his hit slave drama “Underground” to portray famed abolitionist Frederick Douglass.

The “All of Me singer” serves as an executive producer of the show, which centres on America’s Underground Railroad, a network of safe houses and secret routes created to help African-Americans escape bondage before slavery was banned at the conclusion of the United States Civil War in 1865.

Now Legend will step back in time himself to bring author, orator and political reformist Douglass to life onscreen in the second season of Underground. Douglass isn’t the only historical figure to feature on the show – Aisha Hinds will play Harriet Tubman, while Chris Chalk will portray another key abolitionist, William Still, on the series.

Season two is currently being filmed in Georgia, ahead of a planned March, 2017 premiere.
