The Ms. Pat Show Returns January 7; According to Jim Christmas Day Marathon on Laff

BET+ announced the return of the multi-Emmy(R)-nominated comedy The Ms. Pat Show for its fifth season, which will premiere on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. The first four seasons of the groundbreaking R-rated sitcom unpacked everything from drug addiction and abortion to sexual abuse and dysfunctional family cycles. Season 5 continues that trend as the multi-dimensional Carson family tackles topics including scars left by absent parents, scars created by present parents, and following your dreams through all of it. In their wildest, most uproarious season yet, the Carsons discover that the only constant is change.
Returning series regulars include Patricia "Ms. Pat" Williams-Lee, J. Bernard Calloway, Tami Roman, Vince Swann, Briyana Guadalupe, and Theodore John Barnes, with Brittany Inge recurring this season. Notable guest stars include Raven-Symoné, Tisha Campbell, Tristan "Mack" Wilds, Omeretta, Sandra Caldwell, Emmy award-winning actress Loretta Devine, and the multi-platinum, Grammy(R)-nominated vocal trio SWV.

Laff will have an According to Jim Christmas Marathon on Thursday, December 25 from 2pm-11pm, including all of six Christmas episodes airing from 7:30-10:30pm in primetime leading up to the series finale at 10:30.
