Kellee Stewart Snags Comedy Series

Kellee Stewart is starring in her own comedy series, based on her life, called “BBF” (Black Best Friend). The series will be executive produced by Cedric the Entertainer, on whose TV Land comedy series The Soul Man Stewart recurred, playing his sister-in-law.

BBF blows up the trope and hijacks the camera away from the usual white female lead and onto the black best friend. BBF follows a black woman, caught between two cultures, who steps out of the shadows of her friends in search of her authentic self.
