TVLine

The story arc involving prison divestment and the over-policing of Black and brown people was filmed before George Floyd's death. “Everyone was worried that there was going to be this huge gap of time in which so much had happened in the world before we were back on TV,” star and executive producer Yara Shahidi tells TVLine. “We were talking about things that were happening in 2019. But kudos to the writers, who have really prided themselves on trying to stay true to what’s happening on campuses.”
