That included Marque Richardson, Logan Browning, John Patrick Amedori, DeRon Horton, Brandon P. Bell, and Ashley Blaine Featherson. All of them were brought together in a group FaceTime, and then Richardson shared the good news of the revival of the show.
The show has originated from the movie of the same name, directed by Justin Simien in 2014. The movie also helped launch Tessa Thompson (Thor’s Valkyrie) her career in Hollywood. Similar to the film, Dear White People focuses on a group of black students managing to live at the white fictional Ivy League school, Winchester University.
