BET Picks Up 2nd Season of Twenties; Vivica A. Fox Teams Up with Krista Allen, Jackée & More for More Wrong TV Movies

Twenties

BET announced the second season pickup of Lena Waithe's breakout hit Twenties, as well as an FYC partnership with Showtime, which will air season one starting July 6. After premiering to critical acclaim and ranking as the #1 new comedy series on cable for African-Americans 18-49*, Twenties is receiving buzz for Lena Waithe's creative direction and Jonica T. Gibbs' star-making performance. The scripted series created and written by Waithe, stars Gibbs as Hattie, a queer black girl who is chasing her dreams of being a screenwriter in Los Angeles alongside her two best friends, Marie and Nia, played by Christina Elmore (Insecure) and Gabrielle Graham (Possessor) respectively. While they live separate lives, the girls lean on each other for guidance as they navigate their twenties and test the limits of diversity, love and inclusion. Season one guest stars included Jenifer Lewis (black-ish), Sean "Big Sean" Anderson (debut role), Rick Fox, Vanessa Williams, Seth Green, Iman Shumpert, Kym Whitley, Chuey Martinez, Marsha Thomason, and Nazanin Mandi.
