Janelle Monáe Will Succeed Julia Roberts In "Homecoming," So That Loud "YASSS!!!" You Hear? That's Me.

    She'll be succeeding Julia Roberts in Amazon's psychological thriller drama series.

    Janelle Monáe is indisputably one of the best musical acts of our generation.

    She's also an equally talented actor known for stealing scenes in award-winning films like Moonlight and Hidden Figures.

    And pretty soon, she'll be a bonafide television star! As Deadline reports, the next season of Amazon's Homecoming will be led by Janelle Monáe.

    There aren't too many details just yet, but what we do know is that she'll be playing "a tenacious woman who finds herself floating in a canoe, with no memory of how she got there — or even who she is."

    Well, Janelle IS a bonafide badass, so this whole "tenacious woman" thing definitely checks out!

    In case you haven't gotten into Homecoming yet, it's a psychological thriller drama that started as a fictional podcast series before getting picked up by Amazon Prime. There's tons of suspenseful twists and turns, so I highly recommend binge-watching!

    Last season centered on Heidi Bergman (played by Julia Roberts), a former caseworker trying to piece together her time working at a sketchy facility that transitions soldiers back into civilian life.
