Actress-singer-songwriter Janelle Monáe (Moonlight, Hidden Figures) has been tapped to succeed Julia Roberts in Season 2 of Amazon’s Homecoming, TVLine has learned.
Monáe plays a tenacious woman who finds herself floating in a canoe, with no memory of how she got there — or even who she is.
As previously reported, Roberts, who never intended to star beyond the show’s first season, will remain on board as an executive producer alongside showrunner Sam Esmail. The second season is expected to deviate wildly from the podcast on which it is based. It is unknown who, if anyone from Homecoming‘s Season 1 cast — including Stephan James, Bobby Cannavale, Shea Whigham, Alex Karpovsky and Sissy Spacek — will return for Season 2.
If Esmail ain't involved....Hold up a sec....is Sam Esmail the show runner for season 2? Because it says he's the show runner and he wasn't for season 1. He just directed every episode.
EDIT:
Not sure what they're talking about, Esmail isn't even directing any episodes for season 2, either.

Was excited with the season 2 news, now knowing that Esmail isn't directingYeah, I just read he's only a producer and won't be directing . I'm guessing he is busy with Mr. Robot Season 4
