BET announced the premiere date and debuted the official trailer for the new original single-camera comedy series Lot Patrol, from creators Manny Halley (True to the Game, Dutch) and Ernest L. Dancy. The series will premiere on BET on June 30, 2026 at 10 pm ET / 9 pm CT.

Lot Patrol follows a mismatched squad of eccentric security guards as they patrol the chaotic backlot of a major Hollywood studio, wrangling unhinged actors, rogue crew members, and their own wildly dysfunctional personal lives. Shot in a sharp-witted mockumentary style, the series blends absurd encounters, razor-sharp humor, and unexpectedly heartfelt moments, as it pulls back the curtain on the entertainment industry through the eyes of the people barely holding it together.

The ensemble comedy cast features DeRay Davis (21 Jump Street, Semi-Pro), Carl Payne (Martin, House Party), Tamera Kissen (White Men Can't Jump, House Party), Darius McCrary (Family Matters, Transformers), and comedians Skeet Carter, TK Kirkland, Alex Thomas, and Tanjareen Thomas.
