I’m excited to launch this brand new show, and proud to do it on BET's biggest night of the year and in their 45th year of programming!"

In a press release, BET shared the synopsis for the upcoming series, which will follow the lives of five close friends who are approaching life, love, and all of the ups and downs together. Separating itself from Sistas, this series seems to focus heavily on heartbreak and divorce, as evident from its title. Take a closer look at the synopsis:
"Tyler Perry's Divorced Sistas follows five close friends—Rasheda, Geneva, Naomi, Tiffany, and Bridgette—as they navigate life, love, and the challenges that come with divorce, marriage, and dating. As they lean on each other through heartbreak and healing, their biggest test comes from within their own circle, challenging their loyalty, character, and true bond of sisterhood."
Playing the five central characters of Divorced Sistas, the main cast is led by LeToya Luckett, Khadeen Indréa, Porscha Coleman, Briana Price, and Jennifer Sears. The five stars of the new series appear in a video set to "No More Drama" by Mary J. Blige that reveals who's playing who.
