Kimberly Harrison Will Be The Showrunner for Hulu's Sammy Davis Jr. Limited Series

Kimberly Harrison Will Be The Showrunner for Hulu’s Sammy Davis Jr. Limited Series: Lee Daniels and 20th Television’s Sammy Davis, Jr. limited series on Hulu will be run by Kimberly Harrison. Elijah Kelley will play the Candy Man in the series.

Based on Will Haygood’s biography In Black and White: The Life of Sammy Davis Jr. and Alex Haley’s interview with Davis, the eight-episode series, which doesn’t have a name yet, was written by Daniels and Thomas Westfall. It looks at the entertainer’s life through the lens of his racial identity and his complicated relationship with the Black community.

It’s about Davis, who started out as a child star in vaudeville and went on to become one of the most famous African-American entertainers of the 1950s and 1960s. At the same time, he was surrounded by controversy and ridicule for most of his career. This was because of his affairs with white movie stars, his marriage to Swedish actress May Britt in 1960, his conversion to Judaism, his friendship with the Kennedys, and his problems with alcohol and drugs.
