1. “Sex Education” Season 3 (available September 17)

Why Should I Watch? If you’ve yet to discover Laurie Nunn’s charming, sex-positive Netflix series, then you’re about to have a fantastic September. Starring Asa Butterfield, Emma Mackey, Ncuti Gatwa, and Gillian Anderson, “Sex Education” starts out as a show about Otis (Butterfield), the teenage son of a sex therapist (Anderson), who opens his own in-school counseling practice to help his fellow awkward students better understand their various wants and desires. Helped by his bad-girl crush Maeve (Mackey) and cheery best friend Eric (Gatwa), Otis may get in over his head from time to time — he may have the book smarts gleaned from his expert mother, but not the requisite experience — but his heart (and the show’s) is always in the right place.

Bonus Reason: Nunn’s hourlong episodes carry all the intelligence of their top-tier dramatic peers, but the teen romances,...

Netflix's dramedy Dear White People took a brand-new direction for its third season, and it seems season four will be no different. On Aug. 17, the streamer released the official trailer for its upcoming new season, which is set to premiere on Sept. 22. Season four will serve as the show's final run and it will include 10 episodes that'll be in the form of a '90s-inspired musical as the group gets ready for graduation.

"Set against the backdrop of senior year at Winchester as well as a not-so-distant, post-pandemic future, Dear White People Vol. 4 finds our characters looking back at the most formative (and theatrical) year of their lives," the show's synopsis reads. "Both an Afro-futuristic and 90s-inspired musical event, Dear White People Vol. 4 is a can't-miss, farewell experience with one pitch-perfect promise: sometimes the only way to move forward is to throw it back."

Dear White People stars Logan Browning,...

Dear White People takes the musical route for its fourth season, as revealed in the new trailer that Netflix released on Tuesday. The show returns Wednesday, September 22nd to the streaming platform.

Vol. 4 sees the students returning to the Winchester campus in a post-pandemic world, where the future of their lives remains uncertain. Unlike previous seasons, Dear White People Vol. 4 frames its story as a musical, all while the characters prepare for an in-universe musical to take place at the end of the semester. It initially seems like all fun and games,...

Netflix released a trailer for “Dear White People: Vol. 4,” the musical final season premiering Sept. 22, revealing that at least a portion of the season will take place in the future, while the rest will be set during the usual gang’s senior year.

In the trailer, which you can watch below, Sam White (Logan Browning) wears a highly-fashionable face mask and sits across from Lionel (DeRon Horton) as they reminisce over their senior year, when they took part in a ’90s-themed musical, titled “The Varsity Show.”

“Don’t you want that feeling back?” she asks.

Clips of their senior year show the musical moments are not relegated to the stage, with Troy (Brandon B. Bell), for example, doing his best LL Cool J in his dorm, while Reggie (Marque Richardson) sings “Virtual Insanity” at a gun range. But it isn’t all fun and games, as a new Black student...

“This is how we do it!” The cast and crew of “Dear White People” are kicking it old school with the final season of their Netflix original series, and Vol. 4 is looking a lot like the 1990s. The streaming giant announced over the summer that Justin Simien’s television adaptation would end with Season 4, and earlier this month, audiences got their first glimpse at what was going to be a musical-themed goodbye.

The first trailer for the season certainly emphasizes that music will be sung almost everywhere, whether it’s in the halls of Winchester University or on stage, where it’s traditionally housed. But the desire to return to the past for some is met with just as much urgency to forget about it by others. As the trailer shows us, the jubilant ’90s musical comes under fire from a younger generation of Ivy League students.

Netflix announced the final season of “Dear White People” will launch Sept. 22 and be a musical season.

“The only way to move forward is to throw it back,” a teaser for the season previews. From there a cover of Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It” kicks into gear.

The teaser also shows the students getting ready to dance, with snapping of hands and getting into formation to perform Jordan’s 1995 hit. There is an Afro-futuristic and 1990s-inspired dance floor, as the students of the fictional Winchester University look back on their time on campus amid their final year.

“Dear White People,” an extension of the film of the same name by Justin Simien, deals with issues of race, class and sexuality on that college campus. Logan Browning’s Sam White hosts a radio show within the series that is also titled “Dear White People” and is where...

The final season of Justin Simien’s “Dear White People” is drawing near and Netflix subscribers won’t have to wait much longer to stream the show’s final batch of episodes. Netflix unveiled a first look at Season 4 on Friday and announced that the closing volume will premiere September 22.

Netflix’s synopsis for “Dear White People” Season 4 reads:

Set against the backdrop of senior year at Winchester as well as a not-so-distant, post-pandemic future, “Dear White People Vol. 4” finds our characters looking back at the most formative (and theatrical) year of their lives. Both an Afro-futuristic and ’90s-inspired musical event, “Dear White People Vol. 4” is a can’t-miss, farewell experience with one pitch-perfect promise: Sometimes the only way to move forward is to throw it back.

The show’s Season 4 first look doesn’t offer much in the way of plot details but teases a more musical edge to the remaining episodes.

It looks like Samantha, Lionel and the rest of the squad will start gearing up for graduation this fall.

Netflix has unveiled the premiere date for Dear White People’s fourth and final season, which arrives Wednesday, Sept. 22. Mark your calendars accordingly!

The events will take place in New York City June 9-20 and claim to be the first major film festival to host in-person events since the worldwide pandemic began.

The Tribeca Festival was founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff in 2001 to spur the economic and cultural revitalization of lower Manhattan following the attacks on the World Trade Center.

The festival focus is on new and returning TV series, new indie episodic storytelling, and an industry-facing Creators Market.

The Tribeca Festival will also feature a performance by rock icons Kiss.

Exclusive: Rome Flynn (How To Get Away With Murder) has been tapped for a recurring role on the fourth and final season of Netflix’s Dear White People, from Lionsgate TV.

The satirical series — which picks up where the 2014 Sundance hit left off – follows a group of Winchester University’s students of color as they navigate a diverse landscape of social injustice, cultural bias, political correctness (or lack thereof) and activism in the millennial age.

Flynn will play David, opposite Antoinette Robertson.

He joins returning stars Marques Richardson, Logan Browning, Brandon P. Bell, Robertson, DeRon Horton, John Patrick Amedori and Ashley Blaine Featherson.

Simien created the series, serves as writer, co-showrunner and executive produces alongside co-showrunner and executive producer Yvette Lee Bowser.

"You're not tender-headed, are you?" Hulu has revealed the first teaser trailer for the acclaimed, outrageous hair horror film Bad Hair, which originally premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. This is the second feature film from Dear White People director Justin Simien, and it's launching on Hulu just before Halloween later this year. In 1989 an ambitious young woman gets a weave in order to succeed in the image-obsessed world of music television. However, her flourishing career may come at a great cost when she realizes that her new hair may have a(n evil) mind of its own.

Netflix’s Dear White People has been portraying racial tensions at a fictional white Ivy League university for three seasons and is set to portray them for one final run once Justin Simien and his team are able to return to filming.

Last month, it was revealed by data from research firm Parrot Analytics that the comedy had received an uptick in viewership as the Black Lives Matters protests were in full force.

Creator Simien tells Deadline that he’s pleased that his show is meeting the cultural moment but it’s under “devastating” and “tragic” circumstances. He explains how the show has been “screaming at a wall” for years.

“Bad Hair” writer and director Justin Simien always intended for his horror-satire film to spark a conversation about the way society relates to appearance (especially around and among black women), but filming the project has equally affected his cast, who shared their own struggles to gain acceptance professionally and learn how to accept themselves personally.

“Just last week, last Sunday — I’m not even joking… It was the first time I wore my natural hair out. I actually, like, enjoyed my ringlets,” Kelly Rowland revealed during a conversation about the film at Variety’s Sundance studio.

Giving some added props to another star who inspired the move, Rowland explained, “[It was] thanks to, actually, Tracee Ellis Ross. She had this really great product [Ross’ natural hair care line, Pattern] and I tried it and I loved it. And it really set my hair up all pretty.

The third season of Dear White People is nearly upon us, and to celebrate, Netflix shared a taste of what we'll be watching in a revealing new trailer. And just to warn you, things are getting switched up in a few big ways.

For starters, Sam (Logan Browning) is no longer the host of the college radio show that started it all (aka the titular "Dear White People"). Instead, seemingly burned out and confused about what she wants to do in life, Sam hands over the reins to Joelle (Ashley Blaine Featherson). Fortunately, Joelle is prepared to shake things up. In addition to that change, we'll get a look at Coco's (Antoinette Robertson) mom, played by Community's Yvette Nicole Brown, as well as what looks like a financial crisis for Gabe (John Patrick Amedori) and some interesting sexual explorations for Lionel (DeRon Horton).

Watch the season three trailer above, and...

“Think ‘Moonlight’ meets ‘Sex and the City,’ but boiling over with all the tea,” says Joelle (Ashley Blaine Featherson) in the new trailer for “Dear White People” volume three, which premieres on Netflix on Friday, August 2. That may or may not be self-referential about the show itself, but I’d sure watch that. Check out the trailer above.

Created by Justin Simien based on the 2014 independent film he wrote and directed, “Dear White People” is a pointed satire about race relations in the 21st century as seen through the eyes of black students at fictional Winchester University, a mostly white ivy league institution. That includes but is not limited to Sam White (Logan Browning), an activist who hosts the on-campus radio show that gives the series its title; Lionel (DeRon Horton), a gay student journalist trying to fit in and find his voice; and Coco (Antoinette Robertson), an ambitious social climber with lofty ambitions.

In today’s TV news roundup, Netflix releases a trailer for the third season of “Dear White People,” and Disney casts Billy Campbell and Kathy Najimy in upcoming Disney Junior series, “The Rocketeer.”

Billy Campbell and Kathy Najimy have joined the cast of forthcoming animated series “The Rocketeer.” The seasoned actors will voice character Kitana Secord’s (Kitana Turnbull) parents, Dave and Sareena Secord in the Disney Junior series that follows Kit’s journey as she protects her town of Hughesville from danger.

First Looks

Netflix released a trailer for the third season of “Dear White People,“ which will launch on the streamer on Aug. 2. This season sees college-radio host, Sam White (Logan Browning), quitting her show and leaving the broadcasting to her close friend Joelle Brooks (Ashley Blaine Featherson). Meanwhile, a secret society makes plans to shake things up on campus, and Yvette Nicole Brown, Blair Underwood and Laverne Cox guest star.

Class will be back in session at Winchester College later this summer, when “Dear White People” returns for its third season on Friday, August 2. In addition to revealing Season 3’s trailer, the streaming giant also announced a slew of actors who will guest star on this season, including Yvette Nicole Brown, Blair Underwood, Laverne Cox, Flavor Flav, and the show’s own creator Justin Simien.

The last time we checked in with Winchester’s finest, they had just gotten themselves wrapped up in a new mystery. After spending the entire second season searching for a secret society on campus called The Order of X, Samantha White (Logan Browning) and Lionel (DeRon Horton) followed some clues that brought them face to face with the show’s narrator, Giancarlo Esposito. However, it remains to be seen if Esposito is indeed part of a secret society, or if said secret society even exists.

Yvette Nicole Brown, Laverne Cox, Blair Underwood and Flavor Flav will guest star on Season 3 of “Dear White People,” as will series creator Justin Simien.

“Dear White People” takes place at a predominantly white Ivy League college, where a group of black students must navigate various forms of racial and other types of discrimination.

The Netflix series stars Logan Browning, Brandon P Bell, DeRon Horton, Antoinette Robertson, John Patrick Amedori and Ashley Blaine Featherson, with narration from “Better Call Saul” star Giancarlo Esposito.

“Dear White People” is returning for its third season later this year with a slate of directors that pays homage to its indie film roots. Ranging from the returning Kimberly Peirce to relative TV newcomers like Justin Tipping, the show continues to give gifted filmmakers a platform to shine.

“I’m so proud of how many female directors we have this season. It’s amazing,” said cast member Ashley Blaine Featherson during a Television Critics Association set visit. Series creator Justin Simien added, “I don’t need the mandate. It’s in the way I live my life. It’s a given to me that black women need to be telling these stories because black women make up the majority of our audience. “

Simien was excited to swoop in on two directors that some people may not have heard of. “Tiffany Johnson, who is amazing — you will be very aware of her.

Netflix unveiled a brand image spot during Sunday’s Bet Awards telecast that highlights black artists who work for the streaming giant.

The spot dubbed “A Great Day in Hollywood” was inspired by the famed 1958 photograph “A Great Day in Harlem” featuring 57 jazz legends — including Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, and Count Basie — on the stairs of New York brownstone snapped by photographer Art Kane.

The Netflix spot from director Lacey Duke features 47 black writers, showrunners, actors, and producers. The plan for the spot and the image campaign stemmed from Netflix’s Strong Black Lead initiative designed to foster an “ongoing, intentional focus to talk authentically with the black audience.” A photo similar to “Great Day in Harlem” was taken earlier this month by photographer Kwaku Alston to commemorate the gathering.

The debut comes just two days after Netflix was rocked by the abrupt departure of corporate communications chief Jonathan Friedland...

Netflix has renewed Justin Simien’s “Dear White People” for a third season, the streamer announced Thursday.

The series, which deals with issues of race, class and sexuality in a college campus setting (the fictional Winchester University), will return for 10 more episodes on the streamer next year.

The renewal announcement came in the form of a social asset from the show’s narrator Giancarlo Esposito, who was also revealed to be an important member of the Order of X, the university’s secret society, in the second season finale.

Playing with the idea of how information gets passed around online, a topic dealt with heavily in the show’s second season take on fake news and the alt-right, the renewal announcement was designed like a video message. It started by announcing itself as a “transmission” from the Order of X before revealing Esposito sitting and speaking directly to the camera.
