David Oyelowo is known for his incredible acting skills, especially his portrayal of Dr Martin Luther King. Jr. in Salem and as Peter Snowden in Nightingale. 

Speaking about the film, Misan Harriman said, “After Covid, I wanted my first moving image piece to reflect the soup of life after we’ve all had to endure an act of God that no one really could have predicted. And then, of course, other parts of this story are from the tapestry of my own lived experience. And there are also some parts that are just conjured up from my overly-active imagination. And all of it came to the story that is The After.”

“The After” is set to premiere on Netflix globally on October 25th, 2023.
