Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman have teamed up for a new series titled The Gray House, which will be available on Prime Video in the United States. The eight-part drama, set during the Civil War, highlights untold stories of women who played pivotal roles behind Confederate lines.
The Show’s Story and Ensemble Cast
“focuses on the true story of a group of unsung women, a Virginia socialite, her mother, a formerly enslaved sister-in-arms, and the city’s most notorious courtesan. They operate deep inside the corridors of Confederate power and transform an underground railroad into an effective underground spy network, risking life and liberty.”
