When Justin Simien‘s “Dear White People” arrived a few years back in the waning days of the Obama presidency, it was a pointed comedy that spoke some hard truths. However, with Trump in the White House, Simien’s satire now seems to carry a more pointed charge, one that will get a chance to really land a punch with in the new Netflix series based on the film.
Antoinette Robertson, DeRon Horton, John Patrick Amedori and Ashley Blaine Featherson star in the provocative new show, which takes audiences to a predominantly white Ivy League college, where a group of diverse students of color navigate their place in “post-racial” America.

“Dear White People”debuts on April 28th.
