BLACK MONDAY
Sundays
Things are looking up for our motley crew as season three grooves into the ’90s. Mo dips into the music business with the launch of KokoMo Co Records. But the crown jewel in his new venture, Nomi, a self-possessed young talent with the voice to prove it, might be too hot to handle. Meanwhile, Dawn is serving her sentence and herself by exploiting her business savvy behind bars.
Freshman Congressman Blair, a guppy navigating shark-filled political waters, is aided by his equally ambitious new Young Republican handler Werner. Keith is morphing, literally and figuratively, into a lost Leighman Brother, while the red-hot success of Skants is catapulting Tiff to mega-moguldom. But all their happy days are numbered when it’s revealed that a killer is lurking among them. As the body count climbs and the threats multiply, our band of traitorous traders will be running for cover before margin call.
THE CHI
Sundays
This season of The Chi will look at the wide-ranging effects of policing in the Black community after Jake has a fateful run-in with a group of officers. Newlyweds Emmett and Tiff deal with the repercussions from his affair with Dom. Kiesha grapples with her pregnancy, while Jada finds love where she least expects.
The relationship between Kevin and Jemma takes a turn, and Papa launches a new venture. New mayor Douda harnesses his newfound power while navigating his complicated relationship with wife Roselyn. Meanwhile, Trig and Imani are on a personal mission to help their community.
FLATBUSH MISDEMEANORS
Sundays
New half-hour comedy Flatbush Misdemeanors, created and written by Kevin Iso and Dan Perlman, who both star, is a raw comedy of city life following Dan and Kevin, who play characters struggling to thrive in their new surroundings in Flatbush, Brooklyn.
The show explores two long-time friends seeking to climb out of their heads and connect with others.
For their work writing, directing and starring in the shorts that form the foundation of the series, Iso and Perlman won Best North American Short Film at the London Film Festival, with the first instalment becoming Oscar® qualified following a Grand Jury Award for Best Narrative Short at the Florida Film Festival.
As with the original shorts, the cast includes many actors from Brooklyn or the Flatbush neighborhood, including Kristin Dodson in the role of Zayna, one of Dan’s outspoken high school students, Hassan Johnson as Drew, a bold and direct man whose demands come into conflict with the livelihoods of both Kevin and Dan and Kareem Green as Kareem, Dan’s new stepdad and self-appointed, unwanted guide to Flatbush.
