Hulu announced recently at the TCA winter event that they have picked up a second, four-part installment of the drama series National Treasure.
The follow-up to the Peabody Award-winning National Treasure will make its US premiere in its entirety on April 4 as part of Hulu Originals slate. Initially premiering on Channel 4 in the UK, the second season of the drama is titled Kiri (watch the trailer below) and follows the abduction of a young black girl, named Kiri, who is soon-to-be-adopted by her white foster family, and the trail of lies, blame, guilt and notoriety that follow.
National Treasure: Kiri is created and written by BAFTA-winner Jack Thorne. George Ormond (National Treasure, Ackley Bridge, Great Expectations) and George Faber (Shameless, National Treasure, The Devil’s Whore, Skins) returns as executive producers of the acclaimed series. The series is produced by Toby Bentley (National Treasure, No Offence) and directed by Euros Lyn (Happy Valley, Damilola, Our Loved Boy).
