“Underground” Executive Producer John Legend and Stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Aldis Hodge Hosted an Exclusive Celebration at Park City’s prestigious Riverhorse on Main, last night. We had a chance to talk to both Jurneee and Aldis. Here it is:

WGN America celebrates its second season of the hotly anticipated escape thriller “Underground,” the most buzzed about television series at last year's festival, with a celebration for the 2017 cast and creative team.  The exclusive event follows the series’ “Clips and Conversation” panel, in partnership with The Blackhouse Foundation, an Institute Associate of the Sundance Film Festival.

Season two of the 10-episode, hour-long series follows an unremitting struggle for freedom within a divided America on the brink of civil war, each side vying to enact their own justice.   Set in the aftermath of the Macon 7’s daring attempt to stage the greatest escape in history, this group of American heroes continues on their harrowing journey to freedom, with legendary abolitionist Harriet Tubman blazing the trail. 

From Sony Pictures Television, “Underground” is created and written by Misha Green ("Sons of Anarchy," "Heroes") and Joe Pokaski ("Heroes," "Daredevil"), who serve as Executive Producers alongside Emmy-winning director Anthony Hemingway (“The People v. O.J. Simpson,” “Treme”); Academy Award-winning writer Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind, I Am Legend) of Weed Road Pictures; Tory Tunnell (King Arthur, Holy Rollers) and Joby Harold (King Arthur, Edge of Tomorrow) of Safehouse Pictures; John Legend, Mike Jackson and Ty Stiklorius of Get Lifted Film Co (La La Land, Southside with You); and Mark Taylor (“MadTV”). Season two of the riveting drama recently wrapped production in Savannah, Georgia.
