Viola Davis & Larry Wilmore To Produce 'Black Don't Crack' Comedy

Black television and film is where it’s at, and it’s about time networks and distributors start hopping on board. With Insecure, Black-ish, and Atlantakickstarting the conversation, ABC Studios is seeking to add to the roster with its new TV comedy, Black Don’t Crack. And for the cherry on top, Viola Davis and Insecure co-creator Larry Wilmore, have signed on board to co-executive produce it, Deadline reports.
