Off the back of this, the series, which has already been renewed for season 2, received two nominations at this year\u2019s BAFTA TV Awards, and one of its stars, Rachel Adedeji, who plays Funmi, spoke with RadioTimes.com<\/a> on the red carpet.<\/p>\n On the reaction to the show from viewers, Adedeji said: \u201cIt\u2019s just been phenomenal, and I\u2019m just so proud to be involved in something that has been well received.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are so many shows that you\u2019re part of and you\u2019re very much like, \u2018This is going to be something incredible. I don\u2019t want this to just be a box-ticking thing, I don\u2019t want it to be known as a \u201cblack show\u201d\u2018.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is just a show that [has] predominantly a black cast, that needs to tell a story. And people love it, they understand it, they want to know more, and I\u2019m just so thrilled, this is why we\u2019re doing season 2, I\u2019m so excited about it!\u201d<\/p>\n Adedeji said she couldn\u2019t reveal anything about season 2 yet as she has yet to read the scripts, but said that it would be filming at a later date this year.<\/p>\n When the series was first renewed for season 2, co-creator and star Adjani Salmon<\/a> said: \u201cThe response to Dreaming Whilst Black has been overwhelmingly loving, raucous and humbling.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m blessed that we have a chance to entertain da peopledem again. Like season one, our goal is to end up being shared in the Aunties WhatsApp Groups.\u201d<\/p>\n The series is loosely inspired by real-life events, and tells the story of Kwabena, an aspiring filmmaker who takes the first step toward achieving his dream, but is quickly confronted with the difficulties of balancing finances, love and his own sense of reality.<\/p> Dreaming Whilst Black will return to BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/strong>TV Guide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong>Streaming Guide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0or visit our\u00a0<\/strong>Drama<\/strong><\/a> hub for more news and features.\u00a0<\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to <\/strong>The Radio Times Podcast<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n Adedeji spoke with RadioTimes.com exclusively on the BAFTA TV Awards red carpet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":51345,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/dreaming-whilst-black-isnt-a-box-ticking-show-says-rachel-adedeji-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/dreaming-whilst-black-isnt-a-box-ticking-show-says-rachel-adedeji-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/dreaming-whilst-black-isnt-a-box-ticking-show-says-rachel-adedeji-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/dreaming-whilst-black-isnt-a-box-ticking-show-says-rachel-adedeji-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/dreaming-whilst-black-isnt-a-box-ticking-show-says-rachel-adedeji-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/dreaming-whilst-black-isnt-a-box-ticking-show-says-rachel-adedeji-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/05\/dreaming-whilst-black-isnt-a-box-ticking-show-says-rachel-adedeji-2048x1366.jpg",2048,1366,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Adedeji spoke with RadioTimes.com exclusively on the BAFTA TV Awards red carpet.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/51344"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Kwabena](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/437469-0875793.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"437469\\"\/")
