BBC, Showtime Release First Images of 'Dreaming Whilst Black' Season 2 Featuring Diversity Focus

The BBC and Showtime have released first look images for season 2 of the critically acclaimed comedy series "Dreaming Whilst Black," produced by A24 and Big Deal Films. The new season follows Kwabena as he begins his professional career in the entertainment industry's era of diversity, equity, and inclusion, where he secures a directing role on a major TV series, "Sin and Subterfuge," led by iconic Black producer Bridgette Julienne. Despite the industry's progressive facade, Kwabena faces challenges as the show's initially progressive agenda devolves into a problematic production, leaving him to question if he has been set up to fail. The series, co-created by and starring Adjani Salmon, has garnered multiple award nominations including BAFTA TV nominations and NAACP recognition, with Salmon himself winning the 2022 BAFTA for Emerging Talent: Fiction. Season 2 is expected to premiere before the end of the year on Paramount+ in the U.S., as well as on Showtime, BBC Three, and BBC iPlayer in the UK. Returning cast members include Dani Moseley, Demmy Ladipo, Rachel Adedeji, and babirye Bukilwa.
