The former Scandal star, who is already attached to the Hulu limited series Little Fires Everywhere, will star in and executive produce a second Hulu series -- an adaptation of the futuristic 2011 graphic novel Old City Blues. Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski is on board to direct the pilot. Written by Giannis Milonogiannis, the graphic novel Old City Blues is set in the year 2048 in the city of "New Athens, on the ruins that once was known as Greece but is now crawling with high-tech criminals including smugglers, drug dealers and corrupt politicians and powerful corporations." Washington's role has yet to be revealed.
