Brandon P. Bell & Logan Browning Join Cast of Netflix's DEAR WHITE PEOPLE

Deadline reports Brandon P. Bell will reprise his role as Troy Fairbanks from the 2014 indie feature DEAR WHITE PEOPLE for Netflix's upcoming comedy series based on the film. Logan Browning also joins the cast.

According to the site, the series will be set among "a diverse group of students of color as they navigate a predominantly white Ivy League college where racial tensions are often swept under the rug, Dear White People is a send up of "post-racial" America that also weaves a universal story about forging one's own unique path."

Bell will portray the "charming son of the dean of students, a political Science major campaigning to become Winchester University's first black student president. Troy strives for ideals rather than his own dreams, even as it becomes harder to keep his personal and private lives separate."

Browning will take on the role of Samantha White, described as "a biracial film major at an Ivy League school whose radio show 'Dear White People' lands her a spot in a campus political movement. Several black student groups want her as their spokesperson, but Sam is still learning to speak for herself."

Yvette Lee Bowser (Black-ish), Stephanie Allain (Dear White People) and Julia Lebedev (Dear White People) serve as executive producers.
