The ladies of Harlem will be returning for a highly-anticipated third season.
According to Deadline, the series, which was created by Tracy Oliver, will premiere on Prime Video on January 23.
If you’re wondering: Camille (Meagan Good), Angie (Shoniqua Shandai), Quinn (Grace Byers), and Tye (Jerrie Johnson) are all returning.
Additions to the cast include Kofi Siriboe, Logan Browning, Robin Givens, and Gail Bean who will appear in recurring roles.
The series synopsis reads, “Harlem follows the core four women on the precipice of change like never before. Whether it’s motherhood, singlehood, sisterhood, complicated career journeys, or even more complicated families, the stylish and ambitious best girlfriends strive to choose themselves above all else. Season 3 picks up following the shocking cliffhanger from last season.
Siriboe will play Seth, a confident MLB player whose smooth moves make him irresistible to one of the ladies. Browning portrays Portia, a beautiful woman from Ian’s (Tyler Lepley) childhood, who causes tension with her return. Givens will portray Jacqueline, Eva’s very strict mother. Bean will portray Given’s daughter Eva, a serious-minded venture capitalist who began working with Tye (Jerrie Johnson).
In an interview with Buzzfeed last year, Good and Johnsons spoke about the importance of playing authentic Black women in the series.
“We have some important conversations and had Tracy coming to each one of us girls and saying, “Hey, what do you think about this?” Or, you know, “this is something that you experienced in your real life? What do you think if we tackle this?” So whatever it may be, you’ll definitely see that,” Good said.
“But I think during the season the biggest thing was to approach it authentically, as women, specifically as Black women,” Good continued. ‘Specifically, as something that we can comprehend and understand ourselves, but in the world of these characters.”
“We have those conversations with each other off-camera as well. And it helps to be around beautiful, grounded women so that we can ask questions like “What does it mean for you to be a strong Black woman?” Or “What is it that you’re working through in this area?” So when the camera is on, it feels like an extension of conversations that we’ve already had. Instead of us having to turn it on and play at something,” Johnson added.
