W. Kamau Bell returns to CNN this weekend for the fourth season of his docuseries United Shades of America. Bell shared a teaser trailer for the series this week, in which he heads to Dallas; Seattle; Salt Lake City; Washington, D.C.; and more to explore topics like megachurches, Hmong-Americans, black Midwesterners, white activists, and the LGBTQ+ community.

“Everywhere I go — airports, coffee shops, the park with my kids — people tell me how much United Shades of America means to them. They say it’s the first time they’ve seen their community portrayed authentically on TV. And I also get feedback on what could be done differently,” said Bell on the new season. “All those conversations informed this season and you will immediately know that from the first notes of our new theme song, ‘Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing.’” Check out the teaser below, and catch the rest when the show returns to CNN this Sunday, April 28, at 10 p.m.
