“We’ve deviated from very much of the podcast, so [season two of] the podcast doesn’t really have anything to do with the way the show is going. We’re working on a second season, but we have a very different trajectory for our show,” Esmail told The Hollywood Reporter prior to season 1’s debut.

Homecoming Season 2 Cast
The show that many knew in its infancy as “the Julia Roberts Amazon Prime show” will no longer feature Julia Roberts. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Julia Roberts will not be returning to Homecoming Season 2. Roberts will remain on as an executive producer but will not reprise her role as Homecoming facility therapist Heidi Bergman. Stephan James, however, will return as recovering amnesiac Walter Cruz. Hong Chau, fresh off an appearance on Watchmen will return as well as Audrey Temple, suddenly a big part of the Geist corporate ladder.
The biggest addition for Homecoming season 2 is the casting of Janelle Monáe as the series new lead. Monáe will play a character who awakes in a rowboat, adrift in a lake with no memory of how she got there or even her name. Also joining the cast are Oscar-winner Chris Cooper as Leonard Geist and Joan Cusack as Francine Bunda.
