SUMMARY:

Ernie: Working on five seasons of the show with the cast and crew, especially Valerie, has been amazing. The show is based on Carl Weber's books but differs slightly, exploring family dynamics, particularly within Black families, in a unique way that's both powerful and representative of American life.

Valerie: Over five seasons, we've grown as characters and as a community. I felt particularly free this year, and I'm excited to see where my character, Chippy, goes next. Being part of this cast and crew has been a blessing.

Why Watch the Show: It's a great show with a fantastic cast and compelling stories. It delves into family, drama, and the American dream's costs, showcasing Black family dynamics authentically and powerfully.

The BET+ series “The Family Business” is based on Carl Weber's crime drama book series and focuses on the Duncan family, who owns an exotic car dealership in New York. With the Season 5 launch, viewers will experience the return to a civil war between LC Duncan and the clan and their biggest enemy to date… one of his own sons. The show has aired four seasons and 34 episodes, via BET and BET+. Season 5 premieres on Thursday, July 4th on BET+. #betplus #bet #erniehudson #valariepettiford
