Kerry Washington in "American Son"

Netflix dropped the first trailer for American Son Sunday during the Emmys. 

The streaming giant unveiled the first look of its adaptation of playwright Christopher Demos-Brown’s hit 2018 play of the same name. 

Billing by the streamer as a “Netflix Television Event,” American Son stars Kerry Washington and Steven Pasquale, who will reprise their roles as an estranged couple who are looking for their missing 18-year-old son. The two both appeared in the 2018 Broadway production. They are joined by Jeremy Jordan and Eugene Lee, both of whom are also set to reprise their roles from the stage production.

Tony Award winner Kenny Leon, who directed the play, also helms the film. 

American Son is set to premiere on November 1 on Netflix. Watch the trailer below.
