Tarell Alvin McCraney, who won an Oscar for co-writing Moonlight, has a new series coming Aug. 14 that is very much in the vein of Barry Jenkins' Academy Award Best Picture winner. David Makes Man follows a 14-year-old prodigy from the projects, played by Akili McDowell, who must chose between the streets and higher education that will pave the way for a future career.
