ATLANTA, May 30, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The new Bounce TV original series "Mind Your
Business" debuts this Saturday June 1
with the first two episodes back-to-back starting at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m.
CT. Preview here.
The half-hour situation comedy tells the story of the Williams
family, which is in the business of celebrating some of life's most
significant occasions with its event and party space in
Chicago. However, when it comes to
their own family affairs, there seems to be a bigger need for
referees than DJs. Columbus Short
("Scandal," "Stomp the Yard"), Drew
Sidora ("The Real Housewives of Atlanta," "That's So Raven"), Rolonda Watts ("Rolonda"), and singer/radio host
Bebe Winans lead the ensemble
cast.
Like many small businesses, the once-prospering 30s-and-older
lounge owned by Lucille Williams
(Played by Watts) took a huge pandemic hit, forcing her to close.
Lucille's baby brother, Henry
(Winans), couldn't stand by and let Lucille's Place slip
away, so he recruited his fraternal twins, Aaliyah (Sidora) and Alfonso (Short), to keep the business in the
family. With Aaliyah's creative sensibilities and Alfonso's
business mind, a safe space for planning and hosting events was
born. Alfonso's wife, Kimberly, and son, Alfonso Jr. (A.J.), join
the event planning team. Even Aaliyah has one of their chosen
family members, Mia, join the team; she is a jack of all trades –
so she thinks. Although the new-and-improved "Lucille's" brings
everyone together, their affairs end up causing a mess bigger than
a college frat party.
"Mind Your Business" also features Caryn
Ward Ross ("Fame," "Monogamy," "Patterns of Attraction"),
Brely Evans ("Ambitions," "Being Mary Jane," "The Man in
3B"), Bryce
Xavier ("A Bennett Song Holiday," "Stay Tuned: The Movie,"
Total Eclipse"), and Chloe Elise
Ellis ("Borrasca," "Footprints," "Three Stories Up"). "Mind
Your Business" is produced by Harvest Studios and executive
produced by Bentley Kyle Evans
("Martin," "The Jamie Foxx Show.")
The 10-episode first-season series will run throughout the
summer, leading into the return of the hit Bounce series "Johnson,"
which will start airing new episodes Saturday, Aug. 3 at 8 p.m.
ET/7 p.m. CT.
