BET+ RENEWS ORIGINAL COMEDY SERIES "CHURCHY" STARRING KEVIN "KEVONSTAGE" FREDERICKS FROM SPRINGHILL

The Season 2 Order of the Workplace Comedy Centered Around a Southern Church was Announced by BET+ Following a Wildly Entertaining First Season

BET+ has renewed the original comedy series "Churchy" for a second season.

The series, originally released on February 15, 2024, broke ground for BET+ quickly becoming the #1 scripted comedy series on the platform in its debut week.

Inspired by/drawing from/from the mind of standup comedian "KevOnStage" Fredericks, Corey Carr Jr.'s life takes an unexpected turn when he's bypassed for leadership of his father's mega-church. Determined to prove his worth, Corey packs up his dreams and heads to middle-of-nowhere Lubbock, Texas, with lofty ambitions to build his own ministry from the ground up. However, after quickly stumbling upon the realization that small-town church life is an entirely different ball game, Corey slowly accepts that the path to spiritual leadership might just be funnier and more profound than any sermon could ever teach.

Fredericks is set to reprise his role as "Corey Carr, Jr." an ambitious yet naive new pastor.

Season one also starred Anthony Elfoniza, Lexi Allen, London Solomon, Mark J. P. Hood, and Shani Shockley. Casting for season two includes series regulars Quin Walters and Tahir Moore with Nic Few, Tony Baker, and Tabitha Brown also set to appear.

Kevin "KevOnStage" Fredericks and Melissa Fredericks will return to executive produce for KevOnStage Studios. LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Jamal Henderson, and Lezlie Wills are executive producers for SpringHill.

The cast and I can't wait to bring you even more comedy and a bigger BETTER show."

Quote from Jason Harvey, EVP and Head of BET+: "We congratulate the amazing writers, cast, crew, and our production partners for creating such an entertaining first season.
