17. Dear White People

Legion poster
Lionsgate

Who: Justin Simien (creator); Brandon P. Bell, Logan Browning

What: A TV adaptation of the film of the same name, which sees college students navigating their Ivy League school amid racial tensions.

Why: The film is an indie darling and one of the most critically acclaimed comedies of recent years, and Simien will be bringing that same voice to the show. Bell reprises his role from the movie alongside a new cast (Browning replaces Tessa Thompson), and despite new faces it should still serve as a razor-sharp, oft-hilarious satire.

Where & When: Netflix, TBA

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
