Janelle Monáe To Star In ‘Homecoming’ For The Series’ Second Season

Janelle Monáe will star in the second season of “Homecoming,” an Amazon original series, the singer, actress and activist confirmed on Tuesday.

The “Dirty Computer” singer/songwriter will succeed Julia Roberts, who had the leading role in the first season of the series as social worker Heidi Bergman. Roberts will continue to serve as an executive producer for the new series via her production company Red Om Films, a press release stated.

The plot for the second season will involve Monáe, whose character, “a tenacious woman,” finds herself floating in a canoe with no memory of who she is or how she got there, according to the release.

Monáe celebrated her participation in the project on Twitter Tuesday.

“Excited and ready for this wild ride,” she wrote.
