Logan Browning stars as radio host Samantha White, who leads the controversial “Dear White People” rants. The supporting cast is made up of Brandon P. Bell, DeRon Horton, Antoinette Robinson, John Patrick Amerdori, Ashley Blaine Featherson and Marque Richardson.
The show’s official Twitter account also celebrated the renewal news, sharing the video on the social media platform. “WE’RE BAAACCCKKKK,” the show teased in the caption. Fans took to Twitter to react to the good news, although some were still disappointed that the show was ending.
Happy it’s renewed but sad it’s the final season, guess they all had to eventually graduate at some point
