DeWanda Wise Biography

DeWanda Wise appears as ‘Nola Darling’ in the Netflix adaption of “She’s Gotta Have It.” Following its season one release in 2017, the series received a AAFCA award as one of the “Top 10 Television Shows.” The second season is set to premiere next year. Other television credits include “Shots Fired,” "Underground," “Boardwalk Empire,” and “The Good Wife,” among others.

In film, Wise can be seen next in “The Weekend,” opposite Sasheer Zamata and Tone Bell. Wise also appears in the Netflix Original, “Someone Great,” starring opposite Gina Rodriguez, Brittany Snow, Lakeith Stanfield, and Rosario Dawson. Additional film credits include “How to Tell You’re a Douchbag,” in which Wise starred in and executive produced, "Spinning into Butter,” and "Precious," among others. In 2016, Wise ventured into screenwriting and wrote the short-film, “Where You Go,” which premiered at Cannes.
