The second trailer for the hit Amazon series Homecoming has dropped, and it asks more questions than it answers. Janelle Monae (Hidden Figures, Harriet) stars in the second season that continues the story of the mysterious organization that appears to help veterans acclimate back into society, but seems to have a dark secret below the surface.
Here’s the synopsis:
The critically-acclaimed series Homecoming returns for its second season with a fresh new mystery and an exciting new star, Janelle Monáe. Her character wakes in a rowboat adrift a lake, with no memory of how she got there — or even who she is. Her ensuing search for identity will lead her into the heart of the Geist Group, the unconventional wellness company behind the Homecoming Initiative.
The second season finds Stephan James reprising his role as Walter Cruz, who is trying to build a new life following the traumas of war and the Homecoming Initiative, when he begins to realize that there’s an even more insidious version of the program underway – if only he can remember. Hong Chau returns as Audrey Temple, an anonymous underling at Geist who finds herself thrust into unexpected positions at the top of the corporate ladder. Joining the cast for season Two are Oscar-winner Chris Cooper as Leonard Geist, the company’s eccentric founder; and Emmy-winner Joan Cusack as Francine Bunda, an equally eccentric military woman.
This trailer sees Monae’s character, Jackie, wake up in a boat, unsure of who she is or how she got there. It looks like this season will start out with her desperately grasping to piece together her past, and the Homecoming Center will play a part in that, for better or worse.
Check out the trailer below, and watch the second season of Homecoming on Friday, May 22nd. Catch up now on season one, streaming on Amazon Prime.
