Apple TV+ unveiled today the trailer and release date for Season 2 of Dear…, an emotional unscripted series that sits celebrities in a chair to read about people they unknowingly inspired. The trailer also reveals the slate of actors and influencers we can expect to see – and possibly witness them breaking down in front of the camera. The new season premieres in early March.
Back in Season 1, Apple TV+ subscribers were able to see inspiring conversations with living legends such as Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem, Spike Lee, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Stevie Wonder. For Season 2 of Dear…, it won’t be any different: the docuseries brings nine carefully selected personalities to talk about politics, cultural revolution, representation, and finding their own strength in hard life experiences.
Season 2 of Dear… will also be a posthumous homage to legendary Vogue creative director André Leon Talley, a fashion visionary that died earlier this year. Talley helped bring to life the acclaimed documentary The September Issue, which chronicled the production of the most important issue of Vogue magazine.
