Collider is happy to exclusively reveal the brand-new official trailer for the upcoming supernatural drama Wicked City at ALLBLK, AMC Network's streaming service for Black content. The series starring Shaquita Smith (The Couch), Mercedez McDowell (The Resident), Chantal Maurice (P-Valley), Chanel Mack (The Harder They Fall), Taylor Polidore (Snowfall), and Vanessa Bell Calloway (Shameless) is set to premiere on the ALLBLK streaming service on December 1.
Wicked City is a six-episode series that follows a group of four modern-day witches named Jordan (Smith), Mona (Smith), Angela (Smith), and Sherise (Smith) who are a part of a witch coven known as Charmed City located in Atlanta. The coven, led by their mentor Tabitha (Bell Calloway), recruits a naturally gifted witch named Camille, played by Polidore, who is completely unaware of her gift. The group comes together to perform a ritual that ends in an accidental death. Using a forbidden spell, they are able to resurrect the victim, but in doing so they bring a demon from the other side.
The brand-new 1-minute and 9-second trailer introduces us to our core cast of witches and shows the death and resurrection that puts the story into motion. After things seem to be fixed, it becomes very clear that the coven will need to work together to deal with whatever evil force came from the other side. We also see the dangerous sorcerer known as The Handler, played by Columbus Short, appear throughout the trailer, with the coven having to deal with both the evil force and the powerful sorcerer along with their own personal lives and secrets.
