Netflix has released the trailer and key art to its upcoming the multi-generational, multi-camera comedy series Family Reunion with Tia Mowry (Sister, Sister, Instant Mom) and Loretta Devine (Grey’s Anatomy, The Carmichael Show) starring in the lead roles.
The series launches on July 10, 2019 on Netflix.
Anthony Alabi (Raven’s Home, Insecure) will co-star in the series alongside child actors Talia Jackson, Isaiah Russell-Bailey, CJ Wright and Jordyn James. The show was given a 20-episode order and was created by Meg DeLoatch (Fuller House, Eve) who will also executive produce. Eric Dean Seaton (Prince of Peoria, Modern Family) directed.
“Family Reunion”, which is penned entirely by black writers, stars Mowry as Cocoa McKellan, a free-spirited, fun, conscious mother from Seattle. When she and her former football-playing husband Moz and their four children travel from their home in the big city to the small town of Columbus, Georgia for the McKellan family reunion, they get to know an extended family they didn’t even realize they were missing. From 3-hour church services and huge humidity hair to M’Dear’s home cooking and family bonding, the everyday ups and downs of Family Reunion are real, memorable, toe tapping, heart stopping, laugh out loud authentic moments.
Devine plays the loving but strict matriarch of the family, M’Dear. Alabi will play Mowry’s husband, with Jackson playing 14-year-old Jade, Russell-Bailey as 12-year-old Shaka, Wright as 10-year-old Mazzi, and James as 8-year-old Ami.
