Amazon releases teaser for second season of Homecoming

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

While I'm not sure I'll ever fully forgive Amazon Prime for cancelling THE TICK, it's still fair to say the streaming service continues to produce some quality shows. For instance, while I have not caught up on the dark mystery show HOMECOMING yet, the trailer for the second season premiere certainly looks intriguing, and apparently it seems to be introducing an entirely new main character, which – while not unheard of necessarily (especially for something that isn't explicitly an anthology) – is still fairly novel. 

Anyway, here's the full official synopsis: 

The critically-acclaimed series Homecoming returns for its second season with new twists 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.

Season 2 of HOMECOMING will come home to Amazon starting May 22nd.

So what do you guys think? Any HOMECOMING fans out there? If so, what'd you think of the trailer? Either way, sound off below!
