Boots Riley’s new project has people talking, especially since it was recently announced that When They See Us star Jharrel Jerome is helping to bring the story to life onscreen.
Riley’s genius brought us 2018’s Sorry to Bother You, and now two years later, his new show I’m a Virgo, centers on a “13-ft tall Black man who lives in Oakland.”
“It’ll be dark, absurd, hilarious, and important,” Riley wrote in an Instagram post about the show, which is being created with Michael Ellenberg’s production company Media Res.
Jerome, who’s the perfect actor to bring the complexity and complicated story to life, has already cemented his status as a breakout Hollywood actor.
