Miracle's Boys is an American drama television miniseries produced for Noggin's teen programming block, The N. The show began production in June 2004[2] and first previewed on December 17, 2004, with a behind-the-scenes special called "The Making of a Mini-Series." The show made its official debut on February 18, 2005.[3]

It is based on the 2000 novel of the same name by Jacqueline Woodson. The series was directed by Spike Lee, Ernest Dickerson, Neema Barnette, Bill Duke, and LeVar Burton. It was filmed on-site in Harlem, New York, and includes a theme song by rapper Nas.

Miracle's Boys was nominated for five different categories at the 2006 Black Reel Awards, and it was the recipient of a Writers' Guild of America Award for Best Children's Script.[4] The entire series was released to DVD in the United States on November 8, 2005.[5] TeenNick, a channel that combined Noggin's The N with Nickelodeon's TEENick, aired reruns of Miracle's Boys throughout 2012.[6]
