Simien and Netflix subsequently joined forces for Dear White People season 1, which both re-imagined the original film as a TV series and served as a quasi-sequel to the movie.
Dear White People season 2 premieres Friday, May 4 on Netflix, as confirmed by the teaser trailer.
Both Dear White People the movie and season 1 of the TV series explore their social and political concerns through their characters’ personal struggles with identity and relationships with one another.
Things haven’t slowed down in the real world since season 1 premiered either, and the Dear White People season 2 teaser trailer is composed purely of characters rattling off the issues this season intends to address.
