Uzo Aduba‘s first project post-Orange Is the New Black is about to arrive and you can watch a preview of it here!

The Emmy-winning actress is starring in the new movie Miss Virginia and a trailer was just released.

Based on a true story, the film stars Uzo as an impoverished single mother who is losing her fifteen year-old son to the rough streets of Washington D.C. Unwilling to see him drop out and deal drugs, she places him in a private school. But when she can’t afford tuition, she launches a movement to change the system that is destroying him and thousands like him. Attacked and threatened by those who don’t want change –from corrupt politicians to the local drug lord, Virginia must discover depths of strength she never knew she had.

The movie also stars Matthew Modine, Aunjanue Ellis, and Niles Fitch. It will be released in theaters and on demand / Digital HD on October 18.

Danielle is currently pregnant with her first child and Uzo cradled her baby bump on the red carpet.

“I remember my first premiere like it was yesterday. My dress zipper popped and my friend @iammetch found a seamstress in the final hour to fix my dress. I was freaking out about being late, and my dad, and two of my best friends were by my side that night. It was my first carpet EVER and my teeth wouldn’t stop chattering because I was sooo nervous,” Danielle wrote on her Instagram page that day.

She added, “All these pictures hold a story but the photos I take tonight will mean the most, as I share them with the people who have become my family and with carrying the little Debbie cake inside this Taystee oven. It’s the end of an era, and the beginning of so much more. Thank you to all the fans who have been supporting us from Day 1 and all who have jumped on board season after season.”

Uzo Aduba, Jenji Kohan and Cindy Holland are on the cover of Variety‘s latest issue, out now.

Here’s what the Orange Is The New Black cast and crew had to say…

Uzo, on the show’s beginning before streaming was popular: “When we were making Orange [in 2012], it wasn’t like House of Cards was actually on television for us to be like, ‘Oh, it’s going to be that. It’s like, ‘Is it a web series? Is it going to be on YouTube? I don’t really get what this is.’ Additionally, the makeup of our show wasn’t something that was all over the television landscape.”

Uzo, on working in television: “It was something that, up until then, I didn’t actively pursue, because I had never seen a space for myself there existent in it.”

Jenji, on why she loved the Netflix model from the start: “Here was a network that was willing to buy an entire season at once and fund it and support it. There was nothing better in my mind. I had gone through years and years of pilots, and [for Netflix] to say, ‘We’re going to support your vision through a whole season’ was an amazing opportunity. It had a real budget and a team that was really into it, so I wasn’t thinking in terms of ‘No one will see it’ or ‘It’ll only be on the web’ or whatever. It’s like, ‘I get to make this.’”
