According to Deadline, Netflix has just hired original cast member Nia Jervier and Wyatt Nash (Pretty Little Liars) to star in the Dear White People show as returning freshman Kelsey and the nefarious Kurt Fletcher, respectively.
Dear White People was a surprise success back in 2014, and with any luck the new Netflix original series based on Simien’s original work will translate well to the small screen sometime next year.
Dear White People will debut on Netflix in 2017.
Written and directed by Justin Simien, the original film went on to earn considerable acclaim and notice from critics when it saw theatrical release.
