“There will never be another one like me,” says Cynthia Erivo in a new trailer for “Genius: Aretha.” The third season of the National Geographic anthology series sees the Oscar-nominated “Harriet” breakout playing iconic “Respect” singer Aretha Franklin.

Newly crowned the Queen of Soul, Aretha is warned to make sure “the world only sees the Aretha Franklin [she wants] them to.” She’s working on a new song in the studio, “Chain of Fools,” that she promises will “sound like a million bucks,” but behind the scenes she’s dealing with drama in her personal life.

The spot also nods to Aretha’s burgeoning activism. “You got to disturb the peace when you can’t get no peace,” she insists.

Erivo was the sole actor of color nominated at the 2020 Oscars. She was up for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her depiction of Harriet Tubman in Kasi Lemmons’ “Harriet.” She also landed a Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures nod for the biopic’s original song, “Stand Up.”

“The Outsider,” “Bad Times at the El Royale,” and “Widows” are among Erivo’s other credits. Her upcoming projects include a biopic about Sarah Forbes Bonetta, a 19th-century African princess and patron of Queen Victoria’s court, and “Talent Show,” a musical drama about a failed songwriter penned by “Queen & Slim” scribe Lena Waithe and directed by “Vida” helmer Gandja Monteiro.

“Genius: Aretha” premieres March 21 on National Geographic. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks serves as showrunner.
