'She's Gotta Have It': Netflix Shares First-Look Photos From Spike Lee Series

While there's still a little over three months to go before She's Gotta Have It premieres on November 23rd, Netflix has released some first-look images for Spike Lee's upcoming 10-episode contemporary series adaptation of his groundbreaking 1986 independent film.

This first set of photos include DeWanda Wise as lead Nola Darling and Darling's friends Clorinda Bradford (Margot Bingham), Shemekka Epps (Chyna Layne) and Rachel (Elise Hudson). We're also given our first look at Darling's three lovers: Greer Childs (Cleo Anthony), Jamie Overstreet (Lyriq Bent) and Mars Blackmon (Anthony Ramos).

Netflix announced the series in September 2016, with Lee directing all 10 episodes of the first season. For Lee, building upon the lives of the characters he knows and loves so well seems like such a logical decision now — but it wasn't his original idea. In his official statement when the series was first announced, Lee wanted to make sure to give credit where credit is due.

Here's what Netflix describes the upcoming series:

"She's Gotta Have It the Netflix Original Series from Academy Award Nominated Director SPIKE LEE is a 10-episode contemporary update of Lee's 1986 revolutionary debut film. Starring DeWanda Wise (Shots Fired) in the central role of 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: Greer Childs played by Cleo Anthony (Divergent), Jamie Overstreet played by Lyriq Bent (The Book of Negroes), and Mars Blackmon played by Hamilton alum Anthony Ramos. Chyna Layne (Precious) and Ilfenesh Hadeara (Baywatch), Margot Bingham (Barbershop: The Next Cut), Sydney Morton (Love, New York), and Joie Lee (Do The Right Thing) also star. Lee directs all 10 episodes of the series, he created and produced the show."

She's Gotta Have It premieres on November 23rd on Netflix. Here are the first trailers/previews released:
