Kerry Washington is all set to feature in and produce Hulu drama "Old City Blues". According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Scandal" star will topline the project, based on the Boom! Studios graphic novel of the same name penned by Giannis Milonogiannis.

Details about Washington's role are unclear at the time. Gore Verbinski is directing. Set in 2048, the story takes place in New Athens, on the ruins of once what was Greece but is now infested with high-tech criminals, corrupt politicians and powerful corporations.

"Black List" scribe Arash Amel is adapting the take for the small screen. Washington is already attached with Hulu to next star in and executive produce its "Little Fires Everywhere".
