About Blindspotting

"Blindspotting" centers on Ashley, who is nipping at the heels of a middle-class life in Oakland until Miles, her partner of 12 years and father of their son, is suddenly incarcerated, leaving her to navigate a chaotic and humorous existential crisis when she is forced to move in with Miles' mother and half-sister. The series stars Jasmine Cephas Jones ("#freerayshawn") as "Ashley"; Benjamin Turner (recording artist) as "Earl," who is fresh out of prison, wearing an ankle monitor and just trying to kill time and lay low; Candace Nicholas-Lippman ("Good Trouble") as "Janelle," Ashley's close friend who's just returned to the neighborhood after spending many years in Bali; Jaylen Barron ("Free Reign") as "Trish," Miles' half-sister, who might be wilder than he is; Atticus Woodward ("Shameless") as "Sean," Ashley and Miles' sweet, smart and energetic son; Helen Hunt ("Mad About You") as "Rainey," Miles' mother who has strong opinions and holds family above all else; and Rafael Casal who reprises his role as "Miles," Ashley's ride-or-die partner of 12 years and father of their son.
