\"Bad<\/a><\/p>\n

TV One has released the trailer and poster to Bad Dad Rehab<\/strong>, an original movie written by the American Black Film Festival’s 2015 TV One Screenplay Competition winner Keronda “Kiki” McKnight<\/strong>. The film made it national debut at this year’s 20th Annual ABFF as a Spotlight Screening.<\/p>\n

In Bad Dad Rehab, directed by Carl Seaton<\/strong> and starring Malik Yoba<\/strong> (NY Undercover), Robert Ri’chard<\/strong> (Chocolate City, One on One, Cousin Skeeter), Rob Riley<\/strong> (Hit the Floor, The Bourne Legacy), Wesley Jonathan<\/strong> (Soul Man, Crossover, City Guys) and Rick Gonzalez\u00a0<\/strong>(Illegal Tender, Reaper), four men in denial of their poor parenting skills attend a rehab for deadbeat dads that employs unusual methods to help them become true fathers and real men. Bad Dad Rehab premieres on TV One on Sunday, July 3 at 7 p.m. ET and encores at 9 p.m. ET.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Movies like this don’t come around often where you see the many complexions of fatherhood,”<\/strong> said D’Angela Proctor, TV One’s SVP, Original Programming & Production. “Many people think that being a deadbeat dad is connected to money, but it’s not. Fatherhood is about presence and not presents and we see that in this movie.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Deadbeat<\/a><\/p>\n

After turbulence with their respective baby mamas and ex-wives forces them to take definitive action, Shawn (Jonathan), Tristan (Ri’chard), Jared (Riley) and Pierre (Gonzalez) attend a rehab program for dads to turn their situations around. Mr. Leon (Yoba), creator of a “Bad Dad Rehab Program,” challenges the dads to a series of tasks to strengthen their bonds with their children.<\/p>\n

“This film for me is art imitating life,”<\/strong> said Yoba. “Just like the character I play, Mr Leon, I actually started a foundation to support fathers when my first daughter was born 18 years ago. We need to see images of men as involved fathers. I love that TV One chose to make this movie and has made it a priority to connect with actual real life fatherhood organizations across the country. 1 1 m proud to be a part of this effort both on and off screen,”<\/strong> he added.<\/p>\n

Through all the hilarity, hijinks, drama and soul-searching, the men of Bad Dad Rehab discover that fatherhood is less about making babies, and more about responsibility and commitment.<\/p>\n

Bad Dad Rehab is directed by Carl Seaton, written by Keronda “Kiki” McKnight, and produced for TV One by Roger M. Bobb and Angi Bones of Bobbcat Films<\/strong>. For TV One, Lamar Chase<\/strong> serves as executive-in-charge of production and director of programming; Donyell Kennedy-McCullough<\/strong> as senior director of talent and casting; Robyn Greene Arrington<\/strong> is vice president of original programming; and D’Angela Proctor<\/strong> is executive producer and head of original programming and production.<\/p>\n
