After its banging two seasons, the streaming giant has ordered another season of the drama series. Dear White People Season 3 will be the next installment of the series.

Dear White People is based on the original film of the same name by Justin Simien. The Netflix series adaptation follows several black college students at an Ivy League University amidst ongoing race issues in America. The show is an extremely real and true to world portrayal of issues surrounding modern American race relations.

The show debuted in April 2017, followed by another season in May 2018. And just after a month, the series got renewed for its third season. Both the seasons of Dear White People received critical acclamation. It also dealt with some intense controversy, as some white people felt the series as an offense to their race. Not even that they called for a boycott of Netflix, the first trailer of the series received more dislikes than likes on Youtube.

Not just this, he also expressed his views about the third season. As Simien stated, the third season is a bit of a gauntlet; it’s when people are either in or out. He also talked about the prestigious members-only clubs of Winchester’s University, Order of X. “I think we have to follow up what the ‘Order of X’ is, what it means, what it continues to mean,” Simien told IndieWire.

In an interview with Buzzfeed’s AM to DM, Logan Browning gave a little tease for the fans about the third season. According to her, this season is all about spring awakening, and all the characters are kind of getting to explore their newness, their college experiences, and how it has shaped their lives.
