“Twenties” stars
Scott Mills, President of BET, gushed:
The first season of ‘Twenties,’ led by the incredible Jonica T. Gibbs, Christina Elmore and Gabrielle Graham, was a joy to watch in every sense.
BET has always been about empowering and elevating black stories and we’re so excited to see where Lena Waithe and Susan Fales-Hill’s remarkable vision takes us in the second season.
Lena Waithe reacted to the renewal saying:
It took a long time to get this show on the air, but it was absolutely worth the wait. I needed THIS phenomenal cast and crew to make it happen. I’m looking forward to continuing this journey with this amazing group of people and our incredible viewers.
In addition to BET, “Twenties” will be making its debut on Showtime in July.
Hill Grad Productions shared the exciting news writing:
