The scripted Netflix series titled 'Colin in Black & White' will be six episodes long and stars Jaden Michael as a young Colin Kaepernick.
Colin Kaepernick's Netflix series titled Colin in Black & White dropped its first trailer on Monday ahead of its Oct. 29 release. The scripted series, starring actor Jaden Michael as a young Kaepernick, is a six-episode drama that will chronicle the former quarterback's youth.
"When we're young, we're told that the world is ours, that we should figure out our path and take our shot," Kaepernick said in the trailer. "Then one day we realize the game we're playing is someone else's."
The series will cover Kaepernick's early struggles with identity, class, culture and of course football. Kaepernick was adopted by a white family in California at just five weeks old and his parents will be played by Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman and Golden Globe winner Mary-Louise Parker.
Kaepernick was a multi-sport star at John H. Pitman High School before going to Nevada and eventually being selected by the 49ers in the 2011 NFL draft. He led the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance but is most known for his protest of police brutality and institutional racism in America by kneeling for the national anthem before NFL games.
His protest became embroiled in controversy and he was never signed by a team once he entered 2017 free agency — effectively ending his NFL career. He later reached a confidential settlement with the NFL after he filed a grievance against the league and accused league owners of collusion to keep him out.
The series was directed by DuVernay, Sheldon Candis, Robert Townsend, Angel Kristi Williams, and Kenny Leon. And it was executive produced by DuVernay, Kaepernick, and Michael Starrbury, who also wrote the series.
