Created by Justin Simien, Netflix’s comedy-drama series Dear White People is an adaptation and a continuation of Simien’s namesake 2014 film. Tessa Thompson, who plays the character of Samantha “Sam” White in the film, is replaced by Logan Browning in the show. The plot is predominantly set at the fictional Winchester University, where the student body is mostly white. The plot follows some of the black students attending Winchester, with a special focus on Sam.
The series premiered on April 28, 2017, and garnered mostly positive reviews. Season 4 debuted on September 22, 2021. If you are wondering whether there will be a fifth season, this is what we have discovered.
Here’s all we know about Dear White People Season 5 and whether or not it’s coming out.
Is there a Dear White People Season 5 release date?
There is no Dear White People Season 5 release date as the show came to an end after four seasons.
In October 2019, Dear White People was renewed for the fourth and final season. Series creator Justin Simien said in a statement, “I’m so grateful my little indie-that-could has made it to four seasons at Netflix. This show, along with the many talented storytellers it has brought into my orbit, has changed my life and I can’t wait to create a celebratory final volume befitting such a transformative experience.”
The cast includes Logan Browning as Samantha “Sam” White, Brandon P. Bell as Troy Fairbanks, DeRon Horton as Lionel Higgins, Antoinette Robertson as Colandrea “Coco” Conners, John Patrick Amedori as Gabe Mitchell, Ashley Blaine Featherson as Joelle Brooks, Marque Richardson as Reggie Green, Jemar Michael as Al Lucas, Courtney Sauls as Brooke Morgan, and more.
Why Dear White People Season 5 isn’t happening
Dear White People Season 5 isn’t coming out because, as mentioned above, the series ended after Season 4. ComingSoon will provide an update if the circumstances change.
The official synopsis for Dear White People reads:
“At a predominantly white Ivy League college, a diverse group of students navigate various forms of racial and other types of discrimination.”
