Janelle Monae is set to star in season 2 of the Amazon drama. 

Multiple outlets confirm that the Hidden Figures and Moonlight star will be headlining the forthcoming season of the psychological thriller, Homecoming

Monae will take over from Julia Roberts, who starred in Season 1. According to Variety, Monae’s character is a tenacious woman who finds herself floating in a canoe, with no memory of how she got there or who she is.

Roberts, who won’t be starring in the next season, will return as an executive producer of the series. 

It is unknown if season 1 stars Stephan James and Bobby Cannavale will return for season 2.

The second season of Homecoming stars shooting later this year.

Glastonbury Festival has been around for almost half a century, and it gained a reputation of the most influential event of its kind in the world. Headlining this legendary festival is one of the biggest honors any artist can receive – and Janelle Monáe will finally get to do it this year.

This R&B sensation performed at Glastonbury in the past, but she’s never been the main attraction. Co-organizer of the festival, Emily Eavis explained they decided to go with Janelle Monáe because her last Glastonbury show was truly incredible – even if you happened to watch it with the sound off.

Stormzy and Kylie Minogue were also announced as headliners at the festival, and it will be their first time ever taking on this huge responsibility. The Australian singer was supposed to do it back in 2005, but decided to pull out and focus on her health, after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

This year’s edition of this legendary event will be held at Worthy Farm between June 26 and June 30. The date of Monáe’s performance is yet to be confirmed.

Janelle Monáe will take a little break from conquering the world of music to bring another empowering true story to life. She just joined the upcoming Gloria Steinem biopic, The Glorias: A Life on the Road.

This promising project will be based on Gloria Steinem’s best-selling memoir and will follow her incredible journey to become one of the most outspoken and influential women’s rights advocates in history.

Oscar winners Alicia Vikander and Julianne Moore will portray this feminist icon during different stages of her life. Breakout star Lulu Wilson (The Haunting of Hill House, Sharp Objects) also recently joined the project as young Gloria Steinem.

We’re yet to learn the name of Monáe’s character in this exciting biopic, but we’re pretty sure she’s going to do an amazing job. She got her film breakthrough in 2016 after starring in critically acclaimed dramas Hidden Figures and Moonlight. The singer-turned-actress took a little break from Hollywood to focus on music, but she’ll make her triumphant return in 2019 when she’s also set to star in Harriet Tubman biopic with Cynthia Erivo in the lead.
