‘Homecoming’ Season 2 Will Star Janelle Monáe

TV Line reports that Homecoming season 2 will star Janelle Monáe. 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.” Season 1 star Julia Roberts remains an executive producer on the series, but only ever intended to star in one season and not return for more. In season 1, Roberts played a social worker turned waitress who also has come down with an extreme case of memory loss. Roberts’s character’s memory loss had to do with the shadowy Homecoming Transitional Support Center where she worked, which was owned by the even more shadowy Geist Group. I’m guessing Monáe’s character’s amnesia will have something to do with them as well.
Season 1 featured a mostly self-contained story, so it’s not clear if season 2 will be bringing back characters, or if it will take on an anthology format and tell a completely new tale with new characters. The show is adapted from a podcast of the same name, but season 1 diverted from the source material the more it went along, and season 2 is expected to divert even more.
