Kindred is cancelled by FX, despite its massive season 1 cliffhanger ending. Adapting the memorable Octavia E. Butler novel of the same name, the Kindred series centers around Dana (Mallori Johnson) as she finds herself moving between two very different worlds. The writer gets pulled from her modern trappings, in 2016, to a plantation in the 19th century that's intimately connected to Dana and her family. But with a romance connecting the past and present, Dana slowly fights against madness while working to uncover the truth behind the secrets that run through her blood. The series also starred Ryan Kwanten, Gayle Rankin, Austin Smith, David Alexander Kaplan, Sophina Brown, and Sheria Irving.
