Straight from New York Comic Con we're bringing you the first cast images or character posters released by WGN for their upcoming new epic pre American Civil War TV series UNDERGROUND featuring the faces of  Aldis Hodge, Jurnee Smollett Bell, Christopher Meloni (as August, a secretive mercenary who walks a tightrope between survival and morality), Alano Miller (as a charismatic slave on the plantation who is despised and feared by the other slaves), Jessica de Gouw and Amirah Vann (as head house slave, who is an expert in navigating the upstairs/downstairs life on the plantation ) whose characters are trying to reach freedom in different ways!

ESCAPE TO FREEDOM
Underground centres on a group of slaves planning a daring 600-mile escape from a Georgia plantation. Along the way, they are aided by a secret abolitionist couple running a station on the UNDERGROUND Railroad as they attempt to evade the people charged with bringing them back, dead or alive. The story is told through a group of plantation slaves who band together to fight for their future and their individual freedom!
