GIANTS | Season 2 Trailer

Three black millennials face their inner demons while forced to live together in a tiny one bedroom apartment. Giants is created by and starring James Bland along side Vanessa Baden Kelly and Sean Samuels. The series is executive produced by Jussie Smollett and LeadersUp. On February 21, Giants returns bigger and bolder with six, half-hour episodes and an hour-long finale in its second season. Nothing will be the same for Malachi (Bland), Journee (Baden Kelly) and Ade (Samuels), who find themselves sharing a tiny, one-bedroom apartment and are forced to face their inner giants while on full display to one another. Season one of Giants was praised for authentically capturing the black millennial experience and tackling stigmatized issues including mental health, sexual identity, and unconventional means of economic survival. On this season of Giants, the cast is joined by talented guest stars including Emmy-nominated Kelsey Scott (“Fear of the Walking Dead,” “How to Get Away with Murder”), KJ Smith (“Queen Sugar,” “Dynasty”), Woody McClain (BET's "The New Addition Story"), and J. August Richards (ABC's "Kevin Probably Saves the World, "Agents of SHIELD"), who also wrote and directed two episodes. Other notable guest directors include Carey Williams, whose short film Emergency won the Special Jury Award at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, as well as Xavier Burgin, who is a Sundance Institute Fellow. The series is produced by Takara Joseph and CJ Faison for James Bland Productions.
