Blindspotting S2
Nominated for a 2023 Emmy Award for its Choreography, Season 2 of Blindspotting has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The spin-off sequel to the award-winning 2018 film of the same name, Blindspotting picks up the story of Miles’ long-time girlfriend Ashley, who was forced to move herself and their son, Sean, in with Miles’s mom and half-sister after he was sent to prison. The final season picks up nine months later, with Ashley feeling the stress as Sean’s birthday and Miles’ first family visitation weekend are both coming up fast.
As Ashley, Emmy and Grammy winner Jasmine Cephas Jones (Hamilton, The Photograph, Mrs. Fletcher) was nominated for a 2023 Black Reel award for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Comedy Series, as well as Best Actress, Comedy at the 2023 Hollywood Critics’ Association Awards, where the show was up for Best Cable Series, Comedy.
Blindspotting also stars Oscar winner Helen Hunt (Mad About You, As Good As It Gets), with Kaitlynn Simone (Treasure in Empire) and Tamera Tomakili (Cookie Keely in Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty) joining the cast this season.
AV Club called Season 1 “one of the best film-to-TV adaptations in years.” Speaking about Season 2, they say, “Starz’s hidden gem is back [in] …an uproarious, insightful return… [continuing] to shine a light on the ludicrous, beautiful, and often harsh realities of life, while celebrating the power of music and dance… There’s just nothing like it on TV.”
