Following Netflix’s successful run of dramas (House of Cards, Bloodline), the streaming service has lately increased its comedy slate with big-hitter Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the arrival of Ashton Kutcher sitcom The Ranch and last month’s announcement of Wet Hot American Summer follow-up, Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later.
Netflix’s ever-expanding repertoire of original content is set to grow even larger following confirmation it will adapt Dear White People into a brand new television series.
Dear White People currently has no release date.
Dear White People’s success followed Simien’s bold move to create a concept trailer for the film using his tax refund which led to a successful crowdfunding venture.
