Hulu is currently developing an adaptation of BOOM! Studios' comic series Old City Blues, and Kerry Washington has now signed on to star and exec produce.
Giannis Milonogiannis' story focuses on a police force struggling to keep order in New Athens, in the ruins once known as Greece. The city is now crawling with high-tech criminals including smugglers, drug dealers and corrupt politicians and powerful corporations.
The character Washington will play remains under wraps.
Chris Black (Cinemax's Outcast) is set to serve as showrunner and Gore Verbinski (Rango) is attached to direct, should the project move forward.
