I am very excited to bring these iconic characters back to the fans who have supported us through this franchise,” he said. “We are thrilled to deliver everything one would expect from this group of friends in The Best Man universe and take them through their final chapters. We can’t wait! I told you it wouldn’t be 14 more years.”
Lee shared several photos from the set in May. He directs four episodes of the new series. Other directors include Charles Stone III, Robert Townsend and Stacey Muhammad.
The dramedy is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
