Genius: MLK/X — release date, cast, behind-the-scenes footage and everything we know about the anthology series

Kelvin Harrison Jr and Aaron Pierre as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X shaking hands in Genius: MLK/X.

The critically acclaimed Genius series is back with another riveting set of episodes, this time highlighting the life and work of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Minister Malcolm X in Genius: MLK/X. 

While the two are only known to have met once, their leadership roles in the 1960s in the fight for justice and equality were both necessary and invaluable to the modern Civil Rights Movement. Despite not always being on the same page in their approach, one could argue that both their philosophies lent to the overarching achievement in the struggle. Now viewers get to see firsthand what it took to make these heroes and the tough roads in their fights.
