Winston Duke Leads Gripping Audible Thriller ‘Kingsland'
Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty Winston Duke is lending his powerful voice and commanding presence to Kingsland , a provocative new Audible Original thriller series created by Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God's SBH Productions. Check out what we know about the upcoming thriller inside. SBH Productions is the audio entertainment company founded by Hart and Charlamagne. Written by Dwayne Alexander Smith and now available exclusively on Audible, Kingsland plunges listeners into a fictional sovereign Black nation just seven miles off the coast of Georgia, where dark secrets threaten a utopian vision built on reparative justice. In the nine-episode series, Duke stars as Jamison Wright, a seasoned investigator assigned to a chilling case that unravels the very fabric of the young, wealthy nation. Funded by a landmark U.S. Reparations Act, Kingsland has become one of the most exclusive countries in the world. But on the eve of its 10th anniversary, a string of lynchings sends shockwaves through its carefully curated image of perfection. As Wright navigates Kingsland's elite political inner circles and long-buried truths, listeners are drawn into a tense, emotional, and socially relevant story. 'There are many social and political themes in the series that reflect real-life issues,' said Duke. 'My character, while layered and complex, is ultimately just human. Conveying that humanity using only voice was incredibly rewarding… It challenged me in new ways and deepened my connection to storytelling.' The series boasts a star-studded cast including Yara Martinez, Joniece Abbott-Pratt, Jason George, Joe Morton, and Bel-Air 's Jabari Banks. Directed by Nicole Shelton and produced by an experienced team including Karen Kinney, Marc Gerald, Mike Stein, Bryan Smiley, and Dave Becky, Kingsland is the fifth Audible Original from SBH Productions. Previous hits from the company include Finding Tamika and Summer of '85 . 'This was a true team effort,' said Charlamagne. 'SBH Productions is proud to keep telling bold, impactful stories.' Hart added, 'It's a powerful example of SBH's dedication to top-tier storytelling through sound.' Kingsland delivers cinematic drama through immersive audio, combining powerful performances, rich soundscapes, and a narrative that confronts race, power, and identity. It's a thrilling ride that asks: what happens when utopia becomes a target? Will you be tuning in to Kingsland ?

KNG starts Leliyn scoping study
Kingsland Minerals starts scoping study into the production of fine flake graphite concentrate from its Leliyn project Study will be carried out by GR Engineering Services, which has experience designing graphite processing facilities Experienced metallurgy professional Michael Rodriguez appointed to manage scoping study Special Report: Kingsland Minerals has started a scoping study to assess the economics of producing fine flake graphite concentrate from its Leliyn project near Pine Creek, Northern Territory. It will be underpinned by the recently defined indicated resource of 12.3Mt grading 7.9% total graphitic content for 1Mt of contained graphite, which has the potential to capitalise on growing global demand for non-Chinese sources of graphite. Kingsland Minerals (ASX:KNG) has appointed consultant GR Engineering Services to complete the scoping study, which will use current available technologies and suitability for use in Australia and will be based on the nominated throughput or graphite production rate. Metallurgical testwork completed by Independent Metallurgical Operations of Perth will also be used in the study as well as open pit mine design and scheduling being completed by Auralia Mining Consulting of Perth. The company has also appointed experienced metallurgist and corporate manager Michael Rodriguez – who has considerable experience in project management, project construction and commissioning of hydrometallurgical plants – as the project manager for the scoping study. Managing director Richard Maddocks said the scoping study was a crucial step in the development of the Leliyn project and that the company was pleased to be working with GR Engineering, which had considerable global experience in delivering scoping and feasibility studies as well as designing and constructing processing facilities – including for graphite. 'Kingsland also welcomes Michael Rodriguez to the team as we commence the development of Leliyn. Michael has extensive experience in project design studies, implementation and construction,' he added. 'His appointment is an important milestone as Kingsland builds up internal expertise to develop Leliyn into a graphite mine.' Leliyn project are for scoping study. Pic: Kingsland Minerals Leliyn project Leliyn is just 40km east from Pine Creek, a mining town with established power, gas, rail and road infrastructure, just two hours south of Darwin. Following an update in early April 2025, inferred project resource now stand at 180.2Mt at 7.2% TGC, or 13Mt contained graphite, providing room to grow the current higher confidence indicated resource of 1Mt contained graphite. Watch: Kingsland indicates graphite giant for Leliyn scoping study This is likely to be a simple matter of carrying out further infill drilling as the company had enjoyed an extremely high conversion rate of 97% into indicated resources with its previous infill drilling. An impressive exploration target of 700Mt to 1.1Bt with a grade range of 7-8% TGC provides further scope to grow the project. A bulk sample of graphite concentrate is currently being tested by Germany's ProGraphite GmbH for processing into purified spherical graphite suitable for use in lithium-ion batteries. An offtake agreement is already in place with Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, which had provided a $2.56m investment at a significant premium in late October 2024, for all graphite concentrate produced by the project.
