After four seasons, Dear White People will take its final bow on Netflix this year. As much as we’ll miss seeing the characters we’ve come to love over the past several years, we also can’t wait to see the show’s incredibly talented stars take the next steps in their careers! For some cast members, Dear White People has been their big break, while others had extensive resumes before the show. Regardless of where they started, we hope all of them will be lining up amazing new projects for years to come.
A few of the show’s stars have already announced (or even begun filming) their next big projects, while others haven’t revealed their upcoming plans. Ahead, find out more about where you can see your faves after Dear White People debuts its fourth and final season on Sept. 22.

Logan Browning
Following four seasons as series lead Samantha, Browning hasn’t announced her next project. She did hint at one thing she’d love to do next, though: Broadway!
On the red carpet for Cinderella, Variety asked Browning if she’d ever do a Broadway musical. “As soon as they hire me!” she immediately responded, revealing she’s auditioned for musicals before. “I want to make EGOT status.”

Antoinette Robertson
Robertson already had an impressive resume when she started playing Coco, including major roles on Hart of Dixie and The Haves and the Have Nots. After Dear White People ends, you can catch her starring in Block Party, a Juneteenth holiday comedy.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Robertson will play Harvard grad Keke McQueen, who returns from a lucrative career in Atlanta to her hometown of Grand Rapids when she discovers her once sharp Grandma Janice is showing early signs of dementia.” As she attempts to salvage her grandma’s famous Juneteenth party, she remembers what she loved so much about her hometown.
