New York, NY., JUNE 10, 2021 — Portraits of "Blindspotting" TV series star Jasmine Cephas Jones, who stars in the series adapted from the 2018 hit indie film of the same name. While the film centered around the friendship between Miles and Collin (Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs), the series picks up with Miles newly incarcerated, forcing his partner Ashley (Cephas Jones) to move with her young son to live with Miles' mother and sister. The dramedy series shifts its focus to a mostly female ensemble, exploring the impact of incarceration on women, families and communities, and is set in Oakland, Calif. with a lyrical spoken word and dance elements.
