Janelle Monáe has been tapped to star in the second season of “Homecoming.”
Monáe’s character is described as a tenacious woman who finds herself floating in a canoe, with no memory of how she got there or who she is.
Monáe takes over the top spot on the Amazon series from Julia Roberts, who starred in Season 1, based on the podcast of the same name. Roberts remains attached to the series as an executive producer under her Red Om Films banner.
Monáe first became known to the world through her music, for which she has received widespread acclaim and been nominated for eight Grammys.
