The CW has released a set of character posters for the first season of Naomi, spotlighting the series' cast and crew. These posters come just days before the show's two-episode finale, which is sure to leave the world of Naomi McDuffie (Kaci Walfall) and company on interesting footing. While the long-term fate of Naomi is unclear, especially as the series has not been renewed for a second season, fans have enjoyed seeing the incredibly unique approach to her coming to terms with her powers.
"Naomi has a great group of friends," director DeMane Davis explained in a p interview with CBR. "They are all different types of friends. This is a character that appeals to all these different groups. She doesn't throw them any shade. She doesn't judge them. She's just accepted by them, opens up to them, and is excited to be around them. Then, she learns she has powers. Naomi is questioning everything."
You can check out the synopses for "Ready or Not" and "Who Am I?" below, and keep scrolling to check out the character posters!

After Naomi receives a special gift from Akira, she sets off on a road trip with Annabelle (Mary-Charles Jones) in search of a specific place from a new vision...but something is tracking them closely.
