BET’s ‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’ quickly found a faithful audience upon its early 2013 debut.  The scripted “reality” series, based on the popular BET Awards skit of the same name, brought fans a weekly dose of comedy via its stars Kevin Hart, Duane Martin, Nick Cannon, Boris Kodjoe, Nelly, & J.B. Smoove.

Now, in reality show fashion, the stars of the show prepare a reunion episode to reflect on season 1 of the hit series before its season 2 premiere early next year.  Hosted by Lala Anthony, the reality show is due for premiere on May 28th at 10pm on BET.

The “first look” photo above surfaces just weeks after news that famed comedian Chris Rock was set to join the cast after former cast member Robin Thicke flew the coop and announced he was set not to return for the next season.
