<p>&#8216;The Get Down&#8217; actor Jaden Michael is set to cast as Colin Kaepernick in his younger years.</p>
<p>Michael, 17, has been featured in a variety of projects like &#8220;The Bug Diaries,&#8221; &#8220;Vampires vs. the Bronx,&#8221; &#8220;The Get Down&#8221; and &#8220;Wonderstruck.&#8221;</p>
<p>The project already has a lot of hype, and with DuVernay as the director the public cannot wait. The partnership of DuVernay and Netflix has proven to be successful before. With titles like &#8217;13 Reasons Why&#8217; and &#8216;When They See Us&#8217; you can only expect the best from the collaboration.</p>
<p>There is no set date for the release of the series since the production has not started. The delay is also due to filming restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>However, we are aware Kaepernick, DuVernay and Emmy Award winner Michael Starburry wrote the script and finished it in May. The series will consist of six episodes.</p>
<p>Announcing the series, DuVernay said, “With his act of protest, Colin Kaepernick ignited a national conversation about race and justice with far-reaching consequences for football, culture and for him, personally.</p>
<p>“Colin’s story has much to say about identity, sports and the enduring spirit of protest and resilience. I couldn’t be happier than to tell this story with the team at Netflix.”</p>
