Despite being criminally underseen, WGN America’s series Underground, which debuted its first season last year and tracks a group of enslaved blacks as they attempt to use the Underground Railroad to navigate their way to freedom, has been met with great enthusiasm by those who have experienced it. Ever since the show was renewed for a second season and a host of new, high-profile stars were confirmed to appear (among them, True Blood’s Aisha Hinds and guest star John Legend will be playing celebrated abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, respectively), anticipation has been at a feverish high for Underground to see the light of day once more. The latest casting news, courtesy of TheWrap, only stokes the excitement further: Bokeem Woodbine of Fargo season two will be joining the project in a “recurring guest role.”
