Dear White People Season 4: Based on a 2014 indie film of the same name created by Justin Simien, which achieved immense popularity when it was later developed in a show.

The satirical drama revolving around a group of Black students fighting their way against racism at white-dominant Winchester University was renewed for a fourth and last season in August 2019, following the release of its third season.

Set in the 90s, Justin Simien’s musical will cover some of the classic songs from the era, namely, Johnny Gill’s ‘Rub You The Right Way, ‘This Is How We Do It, En Vouge’s ‘Free Your Mind’ and many more.

Dear White People is one of the few shows that capture college life better than the others revolving around the same concept. The costumes, the actors, and the storyline, everything being perfect, makes this show one of the best we have seen in a long time. With a rating of 6.2 out of 10 on IMDb, the three seasons of Dear White People can be labeled as one of the best, and the same response is expected for the fourth and final season of the show.

The fourth and final season will consist of 10 episodes from 21 to 36 minutes in duration. Here’s everything we know about the fourth season of Dear White People.

Dear White People Season 4: What Will Happen Next?

As reported so far, in the final season, Sam will try to conquer the Winchester’s Varsity Show, an annual student-produced satirical musical based on a 100-year-old Columbia University tradition.

This time, the Black students led by Troy are to be held in charge of writing the 90s themed show. The season will also feature an extended time leap to the post-pandemic future, revealing what the characters have done since their graduation, giving the storyline a firm ending.

The official synopsis of the fourth season reads,

“Set against the backdrop of senior year at Winchester as well as a not-so-distant, post-pandemic future, Dear White People Vol. 4 finds our characters looking back at the most formative (and theatrical) year of their lives. Both an Afro-futuristic and 90s-inspired musical event, Dear White People Vol. 4 is a can’t-miss, farewell experience with one pitch-perfect promise: sometimes the only way to move forward is to throw it back.”

As revealed in the teaser, the final season will be the show’s first-ever musical season, and it seems like the show has been inspired by CW’s Riverdale, which includes many musical episodes every season. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, the plan for a musical season was in the mind of Justin Simien for a long time. 

During a conversation, Simien revealed that he was willing to do something unique and unexpected for the final season for a long time. The third season revolved around the mystery of Order of X, a secret society. Sam, Troy, and others try to figure out the truth behind it, and at the end of Season 3, it was revealed that the community exists and manages to cover up scandals so that its members can hold onto their status at every cost. But it is the starting for the mystery of Order of X to unfold. The fourth season will indeed conclude the mystery, and all the truth will be out in the public domain.
