Random Acts of Flyness S2

The Peabody Award-winning Random Acts of Flyness returns for its second season, subtitled The Parable of the Pirate and the King.  

Exploring the metaphysics of Black life through avant-garde storytelling, the second season follows Terence (Nance) and Najja (Alicia Pilgrim), a couple working towards healing generational wounds and reintroducing themselves to the ways of their ancestors. Each of the six episodes explores a different dimension while presenting a rich tapestry of audio and visuals to illustrate the spiritual practice of Black liberation.

Produced by A24 and Anonymous Content, Season 2 was up for three Black Reel Awards this year, for its Cinematography, Editing and Production Design. Random Acts of Flyness boasts a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with Slate describing Season 1 as “...something with roots in entertainment television, art house movies, and journalism – an experimental trip into blackness fly enough to post up in a modern-art museum.” 

Nance heads a directorial team that includes Grammy-winning Nigerian-British artist Jenn Nkiru and Berlin- and Sundance-winning Ghanaian filmmaker Nuotama Bodomo, with Tribeca-winning Ghanaian-American Nana Mensah (Queen of Glory) and Sundance winner Mariama Diallo (Hair Wolf) among the series’ writers.
