Continuing her focus on racial justice, DuVernay directed the critically acclaimed Netflix limited series When They See Us (2019), which dramatized the real-life story of the Central Park Five. Her work garnered multiple nominations at the 2019 Emmy Awards, including one for Outstanding Directing for a Limited Series. The series was lauded for its emotional depth, historical importance, and unflinching critique of racial bias in the legal system.
Through her production company ARRAY, DuVernay has also worked to bring more inclusive content to mainstream audiences, supporting independent filmmakers from underrepresented backgrounds. Her contributions have significantly reshaped the landscape of American film and television.
DuVernay maintains a relatively private personal life. She was previously linked to actor and rapper Common, whom she met during the production of Selma. While rumors surfaced of the two dating after being spotted together in public, neither has confirmed a long-term relationship. DuVernay has not publicly discussed marriage or having children, keeping the focus of public attention on her professional work rather than her private affairs.
