Netflix has revealed the announcement teaser for Spike Lee’s new She’s Gotta Have It series, based on his classic 1986 debut feature. Check out the She’s Gotta Have It teaser below!
The Netflix Original Series stars DeWanda Wise (Shots Fired) in the central role of Nola Darling, a Brooklyn-based artist in her late twenties struggling to define herself and divide her time amongst her Friends, her Job and her Three Lovers: Greer Childs played by Cleo Anthony (Divergent), Jamie Overstreet played by Lyriq Bent (The Book of Negroes) and Mars Blackmon played by “Hamilton” alum Anthony Ramos. Chyna Layne (Precious), Ilfenesh Hadeara (Baywatch), Margot Bingham (Barbershop: The Next Cut), Sydney Morton (Love, New York) and Joie Lee (Do The Right Thing) also star.
The original She’s Gotta Have It was Lee’s landmark film, which he shot in 12 days during the long hot summer of 1986. The film signaled a change of how African Americans are portrayed in movies.
Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing, Malcom X, Inside Man) is directing all 10 episodes of Season 1, wth Tonya Lewis Lee executive producing. Barry Michael Cooper and Lynn Nottage are also producers.
The She’s Gotta Have It series will debut on Netflix this Thanksgiving.
