The highly anticipated HBO Original limited series Get Millie Black, created and executive produced by Booker Prize-winning author Marlon James, is set to premiere on Monday, November 25, at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. This five-episode thriller marks James’ debut in television, bringing his powerful storytelling to the screen in a gripping drama that dives into Jamaica’s darkest corners while following a riveting narrative about family, loss, and survival.
At the heart of Get Millie Black is Millie-Jean Black, an ex-Scotland Yard detective portrayed by Tamara Lawrance. The story unfolds as Millie returns to Kingston to work on missing persons cases but soon finds herself wrapped up in a harrowing quest. Her journey quickly becomes personal, as she attempts to save a sibling who doesn’t want saving, locate a child who seems impossible to find, and solve a case that will shatter her world in unimaginable ways.
The plot promises an unfiltered view of the challenges Millie faces while navigating life in Jamaica, where tensions run high and every corner hides a mystery. This exploration of Kingston’s unique backdrop infuses the series with an authenticity that only Marlon James, a master of layered and complex storytelling, could craft. Known for his Booker Prize-winning novel A Brief History of Seven Killings, James is now bringing his creative vision to the small screen, merging gritty realism with profound character depth.
Joining Lawrance in the cast are Joe Dempsie (Game of Thrones), Gershwyn Eustache Jnr, and newcomer Chyna McQueen, each adding complexity to the series’ ensemble of characters. Together, they explore powerful themes of identity, loyalty, and resilience, elevating Get Millie Black into a powerful narrative of justice and personal redemption.
As James’ first foray into television, Get Millie Black is expected to captivate audiences with its compelling storyline, exceptional cast, and evocative portrayal of a side of Jamaica that television audiences rarely see. Tune in to HBO on November 25 for what promises to be a remarkable, high-stakes journey into the depths of crime and kinship.
