Woke centers on an African-American cartoonist Keef Knight (Morris) who was on the verge of mainstream success when an unexpected incident changed his life. After years of keeping things light and avoiding controversial topics in his comics, he decides to change his tune after being racially profiled by overly aggressive policemen.

Woke draws inspiration from the life of cartoonist Keith Knight, who co-created the show alongside Marshall Todd. Jay Dye served as the showrunner of the first season, and Anthony King took over from him when the show returned for its second season this April.

Morris told Entertainment Weekly that Woke tries to answer the question, “How do you speak for the voiceless?” and showcased how “we are a product of our environment, and if you grow up a certain way, you grow up a certain way, but then every once in a while you gotta just stop, and shift, and make it a point to see things differently.”

In addition to Morris, Woke also starred Blake Anderson, T. Murph, Sasheer Zamata, and JB Smoove.
