After receiving three Oscar nominations and one victory for Best Adapted Screenplay for Best Picture-winning “Moonlight” (2016), Barry Jenkins has accrued his first two Emmy citations for his work as an executive producer and the director of Amazon Prime’s 10-episode limited series “The Underground Railroad.” “It’s always an honor to be nominated, especially in this category, because there were a lot of great shows this year,” Jenkins says about being recognized for this show, which bagged a total of seven bids, in the competitive limited/anthology series field at the Emmys. In our exclusive video interview (watch above), he discusses the foregrounding of Cora’s (Thuso Mbedu) journey, the depiction of violence on the show, and the show’s significant final installment.
