What Season 2 Is About
Created by and starring Adjani Salmon, “Dreaming Whilst Black” follows Kwabena, a driven Black British filmmaker determined to make work that matters without selling himself out in the process.
In Season 2, Kwabena is finally on the verge of his first major directing opportunity when he’s offered the chance to helm a radical “color-blind” historical drama.
What initially feels like a dream come true quickly reveals itself to be far more complicated.
This season blends biting industry satire with emotional honesty as Kwabena confronts uncomfortable truths about power, authorship, representation, and the compromises required to succeed.
Cast
Season 2 stars Adjani Salmon, Dani Moseley, Demmy Ladipo, Rachel Adedeji, Babirye Bukilwa, Roger Griffiths, Jo Martin, Martina Laird, and Kemi Adekoya.
