According to Variety Yoruba Saxon, headed by David and Jessica Oyelowo, has produced titles such as "Nightingale," "Captive," "A United Kingdom," 'Come Away," "Five Nights in Maine," "The Water Man," "Ferguson Rises," among others. David Oyelowo is also set to star in and executive produce Apple's upcoming dramedy series, "Government Cheese." The series is based on the Paul Hunter short film of the same name.
