'Woke': Lamorne Morris, Sasheer Zamata And More On How Their Perception Of The Term Has Shifted In Season 2

Amid Woke being back for season 2 on Hulu, the cast reflected on how their perception of the word has changed.

In this day and age the term “woke” can be endearing, but for some it could simply mean that you’re doing the most. Whichever way you spin it, the hit series is back, and in just a matter of time, the name even has a new meaning for those connected to the show.

Shadow and Act recently spoke to series stars Lamorne Morris, Sasheer Zamata, T Murph and Blake Anderson ahead of the new season.

“I feel like in the first season, Ayana was the woke guru,” said Sasheer Zamata on how her character's commitment to the cause has shifted now that the second season is here. “She was the one helping Keef with his journey to the other side, but in the second season she’s analyzing her own work and questioning if the work [that] she’s been doing for years that’s been affecting her is actually even making an impact.”

“And I think people can relate to that because we don’t actually know the right way to do anything, we’re just hoping that the work that we’re putting out there is reaching people in a way that communicates our goals,” she added.

The whole concept of being woke for T Murph (Clovis), has changed but it's really all about being aware of what’s happening in the world.
