John Legend To Executive Produce Dramatic Thriller, ‘Underground’

Common, John Legend

As you know, Legend, who together with his songwriting partner Common, recently won an Oscar for Best Original Song “Glory” from “Selma,” is a civil rights activist whose multi-platinum selling music has inspired fans across the globe. Misha Green and Joe Pokaski, Creators and Executive Producers of “Underground” state:

‘Underground’ depicts a raw and revolutionary chapter in the American story.  We wanted an artist who could help us find the light through the darkness, and John Legend was a perfect fit. We are beyond excited to be working with John, Mike and Ty at Get Lifted. They stand without peer at the intersection of music and television –we couldn’t think of better producing partners.

Legend’s Get Lifted banner recently produced the critically acclaimed documentary “Southern Rites,” and the acapella docu-series “Sing It On.”
