Hulu's Woke Returns for Season 2 on April 8; Tyler Perry Sitcoms Move to Wednesdays on BET

Here's a glimpse at the all-new season of Hulu's original comedy series Woke, starring Lamorne Morris (Keef), Blake Anderson (Gunther), T. Murph (Clovis), Sasheer Zamata (Ayana), and JB Smoove (Marker). Season 2 returns with 8 episodes, April 8 on Hulu. Cartoonist Keef Knight is now a popular activist on the rise, but he's facing a world where “woke” has become big business. Can Keef and his friends bring about real change, or is it just about the dollar$? And can Keef navigate this new world without destroying what he’s become? Inspired by the life and work of artist Keith Knight, “Woke” continues to upend Black nerd and activist culture, deftly satirizing with a wink and a smile. The series stars Lamorne Morris, Blake Anderson, T. Murph, Sasheer Zamata and JB Smoove.
This Spring, spend your Wednesday nights with your BET families, as the new seasons of hit series Tyler Perry's House of Payne (season nine) and Tyler Perry's Assisted Living (season three) premiere on Wednesday, March 23 on BET and BET Her. Airing weekly on a new night and time, catch new episodes of both each Wednesday, beginning at 9 PM ET/PT. In the ninth season of the hit comedy House of Payne features retired fire chief Curtis Payne and his charming wife Ella, as the loving couple navigates the problems of life with their quirky modern-day family. In the new season, the Payne family welcomes its newest member, Baby Malisa. Malik Payne, the young man we watched grow up, becomes a father. CJ and Janine become grandparents, although CJ hilariously will not let anyone call him grandfather. With the arrival of a beautiful new baby, Malik and Lisa begin to change.
In season three of Tyler Perry's comedy series Assisted Living, Mr. Brown, Cora, and the gang run their assisted living facility along with hilarious variety of personalities who live in the home, bringing with them a ton of laughs and experiences. In the new season, the Wilson family tries to cope with witnessing Lindor being arrested and roughed up by the police. Jeremy steps in as a father figure to help Lindor through this awful process, while Sandra and Philip struggle with their own feelings about the incident. Meanwhile, Mr. Brown and Vinny learn a few lessons about money, and everyone at the facility looks forward to celebrating a Wilson family milestone with Sandra graduating from high school.
