BET Unveils Most Ambitious Programming Slate in Its 35-Year History
Posted in: UncategorizedBET Networks on Thursday took the wraps off its 2015-16 upfront slate, a blend of scripted series and reality shows designed to further strengthen BET’s status as the top network for African Americans.
Among the more high-profile newcomers are: “Chasing Destiny,” an all-female singing-competition series starring Kelly Rowland (Destiny’s Child); “DeSean Jackson: Home Team,” an unscripted show about the women who manage the professional and personal affairs of Washington’s $24 million wide receiver and return specialist; and “Zoe Moon,” a rom-com starring Brandy Norwood as a cosmetics mogul who dives back into the dating pool after divorcing her prizefighter husband.
Ms. Norwood will also suit up for the ninth and final season of BET’s “The Game,” which premieres Wednesday, June 3. Also coming back for a return engagement is the one-hour Gabrielle Union drama “Being Mary Jane,” which was awarded a third season back in February, and Kevin Hart’s sendup of reality shows, “Real Husbands of Hollywood,” which kicks off its fourth season this fall.
