'Homecoming' has a new lead after Julia Roberts

Los Angeles, July 24
Actress Janelle Monae replaces Oscar-winning Julia Roberts in the second season of "Homecoming".

Roberts, however, serves as executive producer through her production company, Red Om Films.

In
the critically-acclaimed Amazon Original Series "Homecoming Season 2",
Monae, the actress-singer-songwriter-activist, will essay a tenacious
woman who finds herself floating in a canoe with no memory of how she
got there or who she is.

In addition to Roberts not returning to
the series, Sam Esmail will also not be directing any episode in season
two. Esmail, too, continues as executive producer of the series through
his production company Esmail Corp.

"Homecoming" is co-produced by Amazon Studios and Universal Content Productions.

The
first season of "Homecoming" was adapted from a podcast of the same
name. It followed the life of case worker-turned-waitress Heidi Bergman
(Roberts) as she struggles to remember her time working at a facility
that treats soldiers returning from war.
