There’s so many alternatives to entertainment nowadays that it can be challenging to know what exactly is available for our viewing pleasure without constant promos in our face. That is why the wise advisors of The MouthSoap team came up with this brief lit list of upcoming TV programs that are buzzing among the coolest circles, appealing to the intellectual or the easygoing.
You’ll be happy to know that Octavia Spencer’s Truth Be Told has returned for a third season with Gabrielle Union in tow. The series is currently available on Apple TV+. For the sports lovers, the CW has renewed the HBCU sports drama All American: Homecoming for a sophomore season.
If you’re not into history, there’s the controversial docuseries, The 1619 Project, bravely being aired on Hulu, which apparently has no problem ruffling feathers — go read the numerous comments on social media to understand what we’re talking about.
Fan-favorite Harlem is making its season 2 return on Prime Video for all those who are suckers for love, while Hulu shocked everyone when the streamer announced that the third season of Wu-Tang: An American Saga would drop in the first quarter of the year. Topping off the list are two TV series based on Black families, one a working class and the other a white-collar, wealthy unit. Can you guess what shows we’re referring to?
There’s something for everyone! Sure, there’s several other interesting TV shows that could have made this list, but given Black History Month, having a quick guide to television programs that feature Black creators makes it that much easier for everyone to support them by watching.
