Loose ends are finally tied, while other storylines and character arcs are more defined in the third season of Netflix’s Dear White People. The Justin Simien comedy released its trailer Friday (July 19).
Shadow And Act report a few scenes that season three will deliver includes Sam (Logan Browning) parting ways with her radio show, Troy (Brandon Bell) experiencing a parody or pastiche, and Lionel (DeRon Horton) continuing to live in his identity.
The campus’ secret society, The Order of X, also reappears after being discovered in season 2 by Sam and Lionel. Depicting a lighter and easing going tone is a shift from the gloom and murk from previous seasons while still giving a satirical sense of style. As the series moves through its characters dealing with microaggressions and evident racism at Winchester University, the script addresses a range of controversial issues.
Yvette Nicole Brown (Avengers: Endgame), Blair Underwood (When They See Us), Laverne Cox (Orange Is the New Black), and the show’s creator Simien are set to make guest appearances throughout the season, according to IndieWire.
Season 3 will premiere on Aug. 2.
