Homecoming

Good intentions. Erratic bosses.

Hong Chau (Downsizing) resumes her role in the second season of the Amazon series, Homecoming, as caseworker Audrey Temple, now promoted from secretary to the person in charge at the wellness-based company, Geist Group, the corporate entity behind the military project. This Golden Globe-nominated psychological thriller, which sees Janelle Monáe in the starring role in the upcoming season (replacing Julia Roberts), attracted Globe-winning actor Chris Cooper, who joins the cast as Leonard Geist, the mysterious and eccentric CEO of Geist Group.

Janelle Monáe headlines Season Two of the Amazon series Homecoming, directed by Kyle Patrick Alvarez and featuring a different storyline from that of season one, which was directed by Sam Esmail and starred Julia Roberts, who continues to serve as executive producer.   Steven James and Hong Chau return, while Chris Cooper and Joan Cusack are added to the cast.

It used to be original stories. Then came book adaptations, remakes, franchises, sequels, prequels, small screen to big and big screen to small.
