FOX’s highly anticipated drama series, OUR KIND OF PEOPLE<\/a><\/strong>, premieres tonight 9\/20 at 9pm ET\/8pm CT and we cannot wait to peak into the lives of the black elite as portrayed by series stars Yaya DaCosta<\/strong>, Morris Chestnut<\/strong>, Joe Morton<\/strong>, Nadine Ellis<\/strong>, Lance Gross<\/strong>, Rhyon Nicole Brown<\/strong>, Kyle Bary<\/strong> and newcomer Alana Bright<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by Lawrence Otis Graham’s provocative, critically acclaimed book, “Our Kind of People: Inside America’s Black Upper Class,” the drama series takes place in the aspirational world of Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard, a historical stronghold where the rich and powerful black elite have come to play for over 50 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OUR KIND OF PEOPLE<\/strong> follows a strong-willed, single mom as she sets out to reclaim her family’s name and make an impact with her revolutionary haircare line that highlights the innate, natural beauty of black women. But she soon discovers a dark secret about her own mother’s past that will turn her world upside-down and shake up this community forever. The show is a soapy, thrilling exploration of race and class in America and an unapologetic celebration of black resilience and achievement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written and executive produced by Karin Gist (“Star,” “Grey’s Anatomy”) and executive produced Lee Daniels (“Empire,” “The United States Vs. Billie Holiday”). Ben Silverman and Rodney Ferrell (Propagate); Claire Brown (The Gist OfIt Productions); Marc Velez (Lee Daniels Entertainment); Pam Williams and Montrel McKay also serve as executive producers. Tasha Smith (9-1-1, “Big Sky,” “P-Valley”) directs the series premiere of OUR KIND OF PEOPLE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAST: <\/strong>Yaya DaCosta (“Chicago Med,” “Whitney”), Morris Chestnut (THE RESIDENT), Joe Morton (“Scandal”), Nadine Ellis (“Let’s Stay Together”), Lance Gross (“Hawaii 5-0”), Rhyon Nicole Brown (“Empire”), Kyle Bary (“Ginny & Georgia”) and newcomer Alana Bright.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
