Prince-Bythewood helmed acclaimed indie features “Love and Basketball” (2000) and “The Secret Life of Bees” (2008) alongside episodes of TV series such as “Girlfriends” and “Shots Fired,” the latter of which she also co-created, before taking things to the next level with Netflix action feature and comic-book-adaptation “The Old Guard” in 2020. With a big budget and Charlize Theron in the lead, she became the first woman of color to direct a film of such caliber. It was also a big streaming success, viewed by 78 million households, and Prince-Bythewood is already producing its sequel. Her next turn as director will be for true war story “The Woman King,” which is set up at Sony’s Tristar Pictures and has cast Viola Davis and John Boyega.
