Dear White People star Logan Browning says "People's eyes bug out" at the title of her upcoming Netflix show. Be that as it may, the show has one missive: Listen up.
Dear White People takes place at an Ivy League campus, where even highly educated students witness racial tension escalate to a breaking point. Justin Simien, who helmed the 2014 film of the same name, wrote the first 10 episodes.
Simien spoke at a Netflix event Wednesday morning and said that he wanted the show to go beyond the film's narrative, to push the envelope further and further and work upon a "bigger canvas."
"Each episode is from the point of view of a different character," Simien said. "You can’t see the whole unless you see the individual point of view."
Dear White People begins streaming April 28.
