'Dear White People' Creator Discusses Trump's Impact On Netflix Series

Netflix continue to add to their slate of original series with innovative and unique television shows; the latest of which is Justin Simien's 'Dear White People'. With the series' first season now available on the streaming platform, fans of the original movie - also by Simien - can catch up with the characters they've already been introduced to, as the episodes pick right up where the film left off.

He explained: "If we're not responding to the way the country [America] is changing, or to the dialogue in the country, then the show doesn't really work anymore. It becomes like a time capsule. We always have to be free to respond in real time, or as close to as real time as we can, to the country because this is a conversation piece."

"America is a different country, and it will forever be a different country, after the election of Donald Trump," he added.

So what exactly should we expect if 'Dear White People' makes a return for a second season and beyond? That remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure; Simien is unafraid to keep his finger on the button and bring television to the masses that tackles big, real-life issues.
