Season 1
Journey beyond your wildest dreams.
Synopsis
Washington Black (2025), Season 1 is an adventure drama you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes adapted from Esi Edugyan's novel, built on two timelines of a single life.
An eleven-year-old named Wash flees a Barbados sugar plantation aboard a flying machine, alongside Titch, his master's eccentric inventor brother. The Cloud Cutter goes down. From there it's a pirate ship, Virginia, the frozen Arctic. Meanwhile, in 1837 Halifax, a grown Wash buries his past and chases the dream of flight until a bold woman named Tanna upends it. The eight episodes braid the two roads together — a runaway boy becoming a man in search of his name, his family, and a place in a world not built to hold him.
Adapted from Esi Edugyan's award-winning novel, with Ernest Kingsley Jr. and Sterling K. Brown, the show bets big on scope, from the Caribbean to London to Morocco. One for viewers who like period adventure with a real social pulse. Stream Washington Black Season 1 online on iFILM.
