Variety

Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal, who co-starred and co-wrote the Oakland-based film that was named one of Barack Obama's favorites of 2018, will also write and executive produce the series. Casal, who will also serve as showrunner, will reprise his role as Miles, the longtime partner of Jones' Ashley and father of their son, who is suddenly incarcerated, leaving her to navigate a chaotic and humorous existential crisis when she’s forced to move in with Miles’ mother and half-sister. “Let us put you up on game, bruh,” Casal and Diggs said in a joint statement, using Oakland slang. “No description will encompass the complexity of a Blindspotting series, ya dig? So just get juiced, cuz’ it stars Jasmine Cephas Jones, it’s set in Oakland and we’re making it, so it’s lightweight finna to be hella good and the soundtrack will indeed slap. OH BOY!”
