(DETROIT) – February 21, 2017 – Last night, FOX hosted a special Detroit screening of the new series “Shots Fired,” created by Gina Prince-Bythewood and Reggie Rock Bythewood. Over 200 locals packed the Emagine Royal Oak Theater to preview the show and meet cast members Aisha Hinds and DeWanda Wise.
FOX 2 reporter Jay Towers cheerfully welcomed the crowd followed by a video message from Reggie Bythewood. After the screening, Detroit Free Press columnist Rochelle Riley moderated a Q&A with Hinds and Wise, who talked about the origins of their roles on the show, how they became involved and why “Shots” is important work that “moves them.”
#ShotsFired is a 10-part event mystery that examines the dangerous aftermath of two racially charged shootings by law enforcement in a small southern town. With amazing music, and an all-star cast led by Sanaa Lathan, Stephan James, Mack Wilds and Helen Hunt, SHOTS FIRED will entertain and challenge perspectives.
The series premieres March 22 at 8/7c on FOX, prior to the spring return of “Empire” at 9/8c.
