The show is directed by Seith Mann (The Breaks) and stars Stephan James, Laurence Fishburne, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Skeet Ulrich and Annabeth Gish.

Zarvos has previously collaborated with Fuqua on the feature Brooklyn’s Finest and the HBO documentary What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali. #Freerayshawn will premiere on the mobile streaming service Quibi, which is set to launch on April 6, 2020.
Zarvos has also recently composed the music for the feature drama Human Capital, which premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival and is currently awaiting a distribution deal.
