"Dear White People" fans will get to return to Winchester University for another year, as Netflix Thursday renewed the satirical series for a third season.
Fittingly, the news arrived via video from the series narrator, Giancarlo Esposito.
First, text filled the gray screen: "Incoming transmission from the Order of X," which is a Winchester University secret society. Then, Esposito appeared and said:
The critically praised series, based on executive producer Justin Simien's 2014 film, follows a group of students of color at "a predominantly white Ivy League university where racial tensions bubble just below the surface."
"Now that I have your attention, this message is being delivered to you on behalf of the Order of X. I come with a message of truth. To clarify the false information that's being disseminated around the world today: 'Dear White People' will be returning to Netflix for Season 3. We'll meet you there."
The second season of "Dear White People" was released last month on Netflix.
