“Just like old times, only better.” Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, Nia Long, Regina Hall, Sanaa Lathan, Melissa De Sousa, Terrence Howard and Harold Perrineau reunite in The Best Man: The Final Chapters.
The series made history as Peacock’s first original release to reach Nielsen’s top 10 streaming chart, landing at No. 5 on the list for the week of Dec. 19-25, Variety reports.
The limited series, based on the film franchise written and directed by Malcolm D. Lee, premiered on Peacock on Dec. 22.
Fans of The Best Man will get a chance to catch up with the lives of Harper (Diggs), Robyn (Lathan), Jordan (Long), Lance (Chestnut), Quentin (Howard), Shelby (De Sousa), Candace (Hall) and “Murch” (Perrineau) in the spinoff series developed, written and executive produced by Lee and Dayna Lynne North.
Although one familiar face will be missing from the show (Monica Calhoun’s character died of cancer in the 2013 sequel but makes a cameo in flashback scenes), the series will introduce new characters played by Yvonna Pearson, Sinorice Moss, Aaron Serotsky, Nicole Ari Parker, Terrence Terrell, Michael Genet, Tobias Truvillion, Eric Scott Ways, Ron Canada and Brandon Victor Dixon.
Lee, Charles Stone III, Robert Townsend and Stacey Muhammad directed episodes of The Best Man: The Final Chapters.
