<p>After the success of the original series, &#8220;Underground,&#8221; John Legend’s <em>Get Lifted Film Company</em> is already in the works for their next series coming to WGN America.</p>
<p>According to Deadline, John Legend alongside his business partners Mike Jackson and Ty Stiklorious, have inked a deal for early development on the Black Wall Street.</p>
<p>Also joining the <em>Get Lifted</em> team as an executive producer is none other than, Tika Sumpter, who is also starring in, “Southside With You,” which is also a product of the film company.</p>
<p>Mike Jackson said, “We’re so excited to continue to grow our relationship with WGN America. Our experience working with them on <em>Underground</em> has been fantastic. Additionally, we’re looking forward to working with our friend Tika Sumpter to help tell this incredible story that many people know nothing about.”</p>
<p>In a brief description of the story&#8217;s background, Deadline mentions that the story of the Black Wall Street will focus on the successful middle class of African Americans in Tulsa, OK during the early years of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. Unfortunately, the story includes the largest mass killing of African Americans in the country’s history.</p>
<p>The show is still in its early stages and may debut sometime in 2018. However fans can expect the return of &#8220;Underground&#8221; sometime next year.</p>
