It's a damn shame at times we have to do some digging around JUST to find out the black male character's role in some of these shows and movies. But again the media and really the producers has no respect for them.
LOL before NYCC this past week, there seemed to be NO character description info about Tongayi Chirisa's character Ciprien Grieve. I assume it's because the producers wanted to keep him being the love interest a secret. It's not uncommon for new upcoming TV shows or movies to do that.
I a bit more forgiving @darkcurry @ColiBreh1 because at least he was not hidden in the Trailer.
He was clearly playing a major role which doesn't always happen in these trailers when the Black Guy isn't the out and out lead.
Peripheral with Chloe Grace-Moretz is doing the same thing as well. We have got some depth to his character(Wilf Netherton) but the relationship is still hidden in the promos and trailers. And in the recent promos he is barely shown even though he is being described as an important character.

LOL, that short-lived CBS Medical drama starring Sophia Bush that we all watched earlier this year did the same thing. We couldn't confirm it until we watched the pilot episode.
EDIT:
That Netflix "The Peripheral" show is based on a book & the wikipedia page for the book has a long detailed plot summary of the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Peripheral
Skimming through the wikipedia book plot summary Chloe Grace-Moretz & Gary Carr's characters don't seem to be love interests. In fact, both characters end up with someone else.
