We’re only a few weeks away from seeing the return of one of our favorite families,
The Upshaws. This week (March 26), Netflix announced that that the Regina Y. Hicks and Wanda Sykes created comedy series will be returning for its fifth season on Thursday, April 18th. Along with the news, we also got a trailer and some first look photos from the upcoming season. Scroll down to check them out!
In the series, Mike Epps plays the character Bennie Upshaw, the head of a Black working class family in Indianapolis. He is a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family which includes his wife, their two young daughters and firstborn son, the teenage son he fathered with another woman and tolerate his sardonic sister-in-law, all without a blueprint for success. But the Upshaws are determined to make it work, and make it to the next level, together. In this upcoming part, the Upshaws continue to ride life’s ups and downs, including new loves, old flames, big dreams, life changes and the love and drama that comes with family.
Alongside Epps,
