Lena Waithe’s Twenties is set to return for a second season in October on BET and BET HER, along with an after-show hosted and executive produced by celebrity blogger B. Scott.
The comedy is created, written and executive produced by Waithe and Hillman Grad Productions. The series stars Jojo T. Gibbs as “Hattie,” a queer Black girl chasing her dreams of becoming a screenwriter in Los Angeles alongside her two best friends, Marie and Nia, played by Christine Elmore and Gabrielle Graham respectively.
In the season opener, Hattie juggles working on her script, settling into a new place, and trying to make it work with Ida B. played by Sophina Brown, BET said in a recent press release. Meanwhile, “Nia” starts her first day on Cocoa’s Butter, and Marie questions her relationship with Chuck, played by Jevon McFerrin.
