Alex Wheatle was a titan. A fighter in realest sense of the word. He created a beautiful Wheatle-verse in his writing and his words affected the lives of thousands. I’m so sad he’s gone, but I’m happy that he left a legacy enduring enough to achieve immortality.
RIEP Alex.

Wrapped on Crongton season 1!
Making a show is hard-tuh-rassclart. Big big thanks to everyone involved on getting us here - cast, crew, production - the best group of people I could hope to work with.
Can’t wait for you all to see it when it drops.
