Jordan Peele Trends on Twitter As Fans React to the Trailer for 'Karen'

The trailer for Karen is causing a stir on social media.

The upcoming thriller stars Taryn Manning as a “racist white woman who makes it her personal mission to displace the new Black family that has just moved in next door to her.”

A teaser for the movie was released last week and Jordan Peele, who is not affiliated with the movie, started trending on Twitter on Tuesday (June 22) after users drew comparisons to his 2017 film Get Out.

Jordan‘s Oscar-winning film followed a young Black man visiting his white girlfriend’s family for the first time and ultimately finds out he’s not the first Black person they have targeted.

“All of these Jordan Peele recreation attempts assume the core of Get Out was ‘haha white people scary’ and try to recycle that over and over. They miss the nuanced message about liberal performative activism, about the obsession with black culture. 1/2,” one user wrote. “2/2 the imitations don’t have anything new to say, they just take a well-known image of racism and expect that to do the work.”

Karen is directed by Coke Daniels and does not yet have a release date.
