Starring GRAMMY-nominated singer Keri Hilson, ‘Greenleaf’ star Deborah Joy Winans, and more, the romantic comedy highlights the strength of friendship bonds after they are tested among a tightly knight group trying to sort out their respective complicated professional and romantic lives.

In sweet news for fans of ‘Queen Sugar,’ OWN has announced that the popular drama has been renewed for a sixth season.

The development is of particular note because the commitment comes before the premiere of the Ava DuVernay show’s hotly anticipated fifth season – which premieres February 16.

Widely praised for its potently layered portrayal of an African-American family in the Deep South, the series follows the complicated lives of the Bordelon clan.

Led by stars Kofi Siriboe, Dawn-Lyen Gardner, Bianca Lawson, and Rutina Wesley, ‘Sugar’ has also found favor for its purposeful use of female directors. Indeed, season five is entirely helmed three filmmakers: producing director Lauren Wolkstein, Lisa France and Cierra Glaude.

Check out the freshly unwrapped trailer below, where words from the forces behind the show also await…

As Oscar buzz goes, few films have critics raving as much as ‘Judas And The Black Messiah.’

And, having been privy to an early screening of the movie ourselves, That Grape Juice is more than understanding of why.

Anchored by Daniel Kaluuya in the lead role, the gripping drama tells the life story of civil rights leader and Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton – 50 years after his assassination.

Following a release shuffle caused by the current global health crisis, the Shaka King production will hit theaters on February 12 and simultaneously stream on HBO Max for 31 days from then.

Aptly timed, given the burning spotlight on racial injustice, ‘Judas and the Black Messiah,’ features a star-studded cast toplined by the likes of Academy Award-nominee Kaluuya (as Hampton), Lakeith Stanfield (as his ‘Judas’ William O’Neal), Ashton Sanders, Algee Smith, Martin Sheen, and more.

Ryan Coogler (director of Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’) and Charles King serve as producers.

Ahead of its release, check out the freshly unleashed extended trailer below…

While the world felt the devastation of Chadwick Boseman‘s death last August, the grief struck more personal for his wife Simone Ledward. 

During his time in the spotlight, the late ‘Black Panther’ star guarded his private life with vigour.

It did emerge shortly before his passing, however, that he and Ledward – who had been dating for many years – tied the knot in 2019.

Still, said privacy continued following Boseman death – which was the result of a four-year battle with colon cancer that the actor kept under wraps from most.

Ledward broke her silence last night at the Gotham Awards, where she gave salute to her husband while accepting the Tribute Award in his memory.
