From Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins and based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Colson Whitehead, “The Underground Railroad” chronicles Cora Randall’s desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. After escaping a Georgia plantation for the rumored Underground Railroad, Cora discovers no mere metaphor, but an actual railroad beneath the Southern soil.
The series was filmed on location in various parts of Georgia starting in the summer of 2019 and was temporarily shut down by the coronavirus outbreak that led to a lockdown throughout most of the country. However, the production was able to start again amid the pandemic, with Jenkins announcing that filming had wrapped at the end of September 2020.
