Hulu has released the first official trailer for its forthcoming series, “The Other Black Girl.” The show will premiere on the streaming service on Sept. 13.

“The Other Black Girl” is based on Zakiya Dalila Harris’ best-selling novel of the same name, according to Deadline. The series tells the story of Nella, an editorial assistant at Wagner Books. Fed up with being the only Black woman working at the company, her spirits lift when another Black woman, Hazel, gets hired.

Following Hazel’s hiring, and a new promotion to assistant editor, things start looking up for Nella. However, as her stature with Wagner Books rises, she notices sinister activity is afoot and will have to figure out if Hazel is a friend or an enemy.

As the trailer shows, Hazel begins to see strange, supernatural apparitions reflecting from computer screens and elevator walls. She also receives anonymous notes, with one reading, “Leave Wagner Now.” With a logline of “The truth will change your mind,” the series will fuse sci-fi with suspense and horror.
