Tyler Perry Brings New Dramedy 'Sistas' to BET
Tyler Perry is introducing some new "Sistas" to BET.
The producer/writer/director/actor has announced his second series for the cable network, a dramedy titled "Sistas."
The show revolves around a group of single black women from different walks of life who bond over their one common thread: why they're single.
Viewers will watch the women — played by Kj Smith, Ebony Obsidian, Mignon Von and Novi Brown— navigate their complicated love lives, careers and friendships through the ups and downs of living in a modern world of social media and unrealistic relationship goals.
Perry signed an overall deal with Viacom in 2017, in which he committed to producing two dramas, two comedies, and a live holiday-themed special to air on BET between October 2019 and September 2020. Perry's first series under that deal is the White House soap "The Oval."
Production on "Sistas" is already underway in Atlanta and the series is slated to premiere this fall.
