De’Adre Aziza, who was a recurring cast member on season 1 of She’s Gotta Have It, has been promoted to series regular for season 2, Shadow and Act has learned.

In the series, Aziza plays New York City educator Raqueletta Moss, a favorite among fans.

The series is a contemporary update of Spike Lee’s revolutionary debut independent film from 1986. She’s Gotta Have It centers on Nola Darling, a Brooklyn-based artist in her late twenties struggling to define herself and divide her time amongst her friends, her job and her three lovers: the cultured model Greer Childs, the protective investment banker Jamie Overstreet and original B-boy sneakerhead, Mars Blackmon.

DeWanda Wise stars as Nola Darling, Cleo Anthony is Greer Childs, Anthony Ramos is Mars Blackmon and Lyriq Bent is Jamie Overstreet.

Chyna Layne was also promoted to series regular earlier this year as Shamekka Epps.

Lee directs and executive produces along with his wife, producer Tonya Lewis Lee.

Spike Lee first discovered Aziza in the cult classic Passing Strange, for which she was nominated for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical.
