Beloved Netflix series Dear White People is returning for a fourth and final season as... a musical?
The first official trailer for the season premiered this morning and there's a lot going on, to say the least. It begins with a time skip to a "not-so-distant, post-pandemic future." Sam visits Lionel at a signing of his recently released book Dear White People, where the two reminisce on their final year at Winchester University.
"We were never as alive as that year," says Sam, "pretending like our lives were a 90s musical."
Apparently, the LGBTQ+ inclusive gang spends their senior year putting on a Variety Show. "Both an Afro-futuristic and 90s-inspired musical event, Dear White People Vol. 4 is a can't-miss, farewell experience with one pitch-perfect promise: sometimes the only way to move forward is to throw it back."
In the trailer, we get glimpses of the chaos of this season, laughs, new drama, and even a shot of Queer Eye star Karamo Brown giving some advice, all over Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It."
It's not that unlikely, to be honest. As Sam points out to Lionel, "You are Black and gay, both groups notorious for spontaneous singing."
Who's ready to throw it back?
Dear White People Vol. 4 premieres September 22 on Netflix. Watch the trailer below:
