The TV One original movie Coins Forever has added Golden Brooks (Girlfriends) and Demetria McKinney (Saints & Sinners) to the cast, the cable network announced.
The two actresses join returning cast members Essence Atkins, Stephen Bishop, TC Carson, and Kendrick Cross.
The original film marks the final installment of TV One’s Coins movie trilogy. The previous movies, Coins For Christmas and Coins For Love, centered on the complicated relationship of Madison (Atkins) and Alec (Bishop).
“Over the years we’ve been happy to have the Coins franchise blossom,” TV One executive producer Jason Ryan said in a statement Tuesday. “To bring this trilogy to a close is bitter sweet, but we love that viewers have been invested in the development of Alec and Madison’s relationship.”
