Amazon’s commitment to sci-fi on Prime Video may have scored it a particularly sweet deal. Ava DuVernay’s Array Filmworks is partnering with Victoria Mahoney (who helped direct Rise of Skywalker as well as episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, Power and You) on an adaptation of Octavia Butler’s acclaimed sci-fi novel Dawn, which tells the tale of a black woman who works with aliens to restore humanity after a centuries-old nuclear war. Mahoney will be the series writer and direct the pilot, but she and DuVernay will executive produce the show alongside others.
