The Underground Railroad is an American historical drama miniseries conceived and directed by Barry Jenkins heavily inspired by the novel published in 2016 of the exact name written by Colson Whitehead. The series debuted on May 14. 2021 on Amazon Prime Video. It received Golden Globe Awards for Best Miniseries or Television Film with other nominations for Primetime Emmy Awards such as Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Film. The series stars Thuso Mbedu, Chase W. Dillon, Joel Edgerton, Fred Hechinger, Peter Mullan, Mychal-Bella Bowman, and Sheila Atim.

Set in the 1800s on a fictional tale of people trying to flee from slavery in the southern part of the US. The series utilises a critical plot element that compels the literary art of pure realism. The Underground Railroad series in reality was a hierarchy of anti-slavery, secret paths, and safe homes that aided enslaved people of African-American descent to liberation in the 1800s. In the book and the series, the real railroad finishes with engineers, supervisors, routes, and tunnels. An enslaved female named Cora from Georgia, joins Caesar to run the train to independence.
