New Episodes Premiere Tuesday, November 3, at 9:30 PM ET/CT

Star-Studded Ensemble Comedy Cast Includes DeRay Davis, Carl Anthony Payne II, Skeet Carter, Tamera Kissen, Tanjareen Thomas, TK Kirkland, Alex Thomas, Nick Nervies, Dawn Raven, Iyana Halley, and G Thang

August 31, 2026 - Following the highly successful debut of Manny Halley Productions' hit original comedy series Lot Patrol on BET, it was revealed today that five bonus episodes will premiere Tuesday, November 3, at 9:30 PM ET/CT, rounding out season one with 10 full episodes. The five bonus episodes will be shot at IMANI Studio, Manny Halley's newly rebranded production facility in Pacoima, formerly operated as Quixote North Valley Studios.

Debuted this summer on BET with record ratings, Lot Patrol presents a laugh-out-loud look at Hollywood from a perspective the industry rarely shows and features a who's who of comedy talent, including DeRay Davis (21 Jump Street, Semi-Pro), Carl Anthony Payne II (Martin, House Party), Tamera Kissen (White Men Can't Jump, House Party), and comedians Skeet Carter, TK Kirkland, Alex Thomas, Tanjareen Thomas, Lionell Dalton,Nick Nervies, Dawn Raven, Iyana Halley, and G Thang.

In Lot Patrol, a mismatched squad of eccentric security guards patrols the chaotic backlot of a major Hollywood studio, wrangling unhinged actors, rogue crew members, and their own wildly dysfunctional personal lives. Shot in a sharp-witted mockumentary style, Lot Patrol blends absurd encounters, razor-sharp urban humor, and unexpectedly heartfelt moments, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the industry through the eyes of those barely holding it together.

Together, they bring to life a comedy series rooted in BET's pillars of community, culture, and connection, finding all three in the most unlikely crew: underpaid dreamers, washed-up has-beens, and borderline con artists just trying to hold it together on the world's most chaotic lot.

Produced by Manny Halley Productions, a division of Imani Media Group, the series is created and written by Manny Halley and Ernest L. Dancy. Manny Halley Jr. and Maureen Pierre serve as producers, with DeRay Davis serving as consulting producer. Erik White directed all 10 episodes, which were shot in Los Angeles.

Said Manny Halley, "We're so happy that Lot Patrolconnected with audiences in the way we envisioned - with viewers showing up to BET and spending time with these characters for chaos and laughs. The audience's embrace signaled a desire for the fun to continue, and we are happy to offer five additional episodes to round out an amazing first season."

Halley added, "Lot Patrol is a fresh, culturally rooted take on the industry. People inside and outside entertainment are realizing that the business of Hollywood is actually quite comical through a certain lens. It's OK to laugh at how things in this town operate - particularly through an urban lens, which is a fresh angle. With this unbelievable ensemble of comedic talent, audiences get exactly what they're looking for: a unique, genuine tone that is refreshingly different."
