Premiering December 1 on ALLBLK is “Wicked City,” the story of five witches who turn to forbidden magic to ressurect one of their own. Another genre offering, “Kindred,” sees an aspiring writer being pulled back and forth between the present day and Antebellum Times. “Zola” writer-director Janicza Bravo helmed the pilot of the sci-fi series, which is based on Octavia Butler’s novel of the same name and launches on Hulu December 13.
