Grammy-nominated singer (Dirty Computer) and actress Janelle Monae is rocking the world, and not just with her singular musical rhythms. Monae is now taking over the starring role in Homecoming — from none other than Julia Roberts — for season 2. And the Amazon Prime show is going to new places with Monae in the lead — as a woman with a mysterious case of amnesia.
But before the summertime shooting on Homecoming begins, Monae clearly knows exactly where she is. She’s on top of the world, floating in the pool in an outrageously perfect bikini, having a cocktail while riding a friendly sea monster — all to the tune of peaceful birdsong.
Monae had better remember this moment while she’s on the Homecoming set. She’s going to need the peace of mind — because her character will have very little of it.
