The 25-year-old plays Chester in the show, which follows a diverse group of high school students whose exploration of modern sexuality (devices and all) tests deeply entrenched beliefs about life, love and the nature of family in their conservative community.
“ur new favorite show is gay af,” Justice wrote on Instagram, along with the trailer.
The first three episodes will debut on March 11th, the next two on March 18th, two on March 25th and one more on April 1st. Eight more episodes will comprise the second half of the season, premiere later this year.
If you missed it, it was recently announced that Justice has joined the cast of an upcoming “Dungeons & Dragons” movie!
Not many details on the movie have been revealed, but Johnathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley will write and direct, based on a draft by Michael Gilio.
According to the game’s official website, here’s an overview of “Dungeons and Dragons”: “The core of D&D is storytelling. You and your friends tell a story together, guiding your heroes through quests for treasure, battles with deadly foes, daring rescues, courtly intrigue, and much more. You can also explore the world of Dungeons & Dragons through any of the novels written by its fantasy authors, as well as engaging board games and immersive video games. All of these stories are part of D&D.”
The 24-year-old All the Bright Places actor took to his Instagram on Friday (June 5) to share a post about the Black Lives Matter movement, while adding that black, queer people need to be part of the revolution.
“@nckash and I protested today in New Orleans. We chanted ‘Black Trans Lives Matter’ ‘Black Queer Lives Matter’ ‘All Black Lives Matter,’” Justice wrote. “As a black queer man myself, I was disappointed to see certain people eager to say Black Lives Matter, but hold their tongue when Trans/Queer was added. I want to reiterate this sentiment: if your revolution does not include Black Queer voices, it is anti-black.”
“The revolution is not about appeal,” Justice added. It is about demanding what should have been given to us from the beginning. What should have been given to black, queer, and trans individuals from the beginning. Which is the right to exist. To live and prosper in public. Without fear of persecution or threat of violence.”
Also in his post, Justice revealed that he is dating Queen Sugar actor Nicholas L. Ashe, calling him his “rock.”
There is so much tragedy on the timeline these last couple of days so I added some photos of me and Nic to show some #blackboyjoy #blacklove #blackqueerlove ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜,” Justice wrote. “You’ve been my rock and guiding light through all of this and I love you so much. I know that on the other side of this Is change, though the fight is far from over.”
