The final season of Game of Thrones ended with a bang this year, and Emmy voters definitely took notice. Despite mixed reviews, HBO’s epic series set a record by receiving a total of 32 nods.

To be fair, Game of Thrones owes the majority of its nominations to technical achievements, honored at the Creative Emmy Awards, but that doesn’t minimize the enormous success of this series. 14 of those nominations were in the main categories, in the running for Primetime Emmy – including best drama series.

Game of Thrones was followed Ava DuVernay’s Netflix mini-series When They See Us, which received a total of 11 nominations in the main categories. HBO’s comedy Barry came in third with a total of 9 nods.

Ava DuVernay & Netflix have finally dropped the highly anticipated trailer for their Central Park Five mini-series.

This is the first full trailer released for the limited series created and directed by DuVernay about the five young men of color who were wrongly convicted thirty years ago of crimes which they did not commit in New York’s Central Park. The men who were dubbed the Central Park Five were exonerated in 2002.

The show follows the men, played by Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, and Korey Wise, from when they are first questioned and along years up to their exoneration and the settlement they reached with the city of New York in 2014.

The series also stars Michael K. Williams, Vera Farmiga, John Leguizamo, Felicity Huffman, Niecy Nash, Blair Underwood, Christopher Jackson, Joshua Jackson, Omar J. Dorsey, Adepero Oduye, Famke Janssen, Aurora Perrineau, William Sadler, Jharrel Jerome, Jovan Adepo, Aunjanue Ellis, Kylie Bunbury, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Storm Reid, Dascha Polanco, Chris Chalk, Freddy Miyares, Justin Cunningham, Ethan Herisse, Caleel Harris, Marquis Rodriguez, and Asante Blackk.

The limited series initially named The Central Park Five has a new title.

The four-part series that tells the story of ‘the Central Park Five’ case that shocked New York City in the late ‘80s has been titled When They See Us. The miniseries is directed by Ava DuVernay’s from her own script for Netflix. 

The news were confirmed by DuVernay herself, who also confirmed that When They See Us will debut on the streaming giant May 31, which is also the 30th anniversary of the case.

DuVernay tweeted, “Not thugs. Not wilding. Not criminals. Not even the Central Park Five. They are Korey, Antron, Raymond, Yusef, Kevin. They are millions of young people of color who are blamed, judged and accused on sight. May 31. A film in four parts about who they really are. WHEN THEY SEE US.”

In a statement released Friday DuVernay added, “In 1989, five black and brown teen boys were wrongly accused of a crime they did not commit and branded The Central Park Five, a moniker that has followed them since that time. In 2019, our series gives the five men a platform to finally raise their voices and tell their full stories,” DuVernay said.

She continued: “In doing so, Korey, Antron, Raymond, Kevin and Yusef also tell the story of many young people of color unjustly ensnared in the criminal justice system. We wanted to reflect this perspective in our title, embracing the humanity of the men and not their politicized moniker.”

The series stars Michael K. Williams, Vera Fermiga, and John Leguizamo. Also starring are Felicity Huffman, Niecy Nash, Blair Underwood, Christopher Jackson, Joshua Jackson, Kylie Bunbury and Storm Reid, among others. 

When They See Us debuts on Netflix May 31.
