Tyler Perry's Bruh, an original dramedy series on the BET+ streaming service, examines the world of dating, career and friendship through the lens of four African American men with a brother-like bond. John, Tom, Mike and Bill are four college friends now in their thirties, who are learning to stand on their own two feet, while relying on each other for support. Sometimes the love is tough, and the honesty brutal, but no matter the situation, they see each other through with levity and laughter. The show depicts a healthy image of black brotherhood; embracing vulnerability without playing on stereotypical hypermasculinity.
In addition to the male stars, the show also features strong female characters. Only July 9, two of the ladies of Tyler Perry's Bruh will be available to discuss the popular series. Alyssa Goss -- who plays Mike's girlfriend Pamela -- previously starred as Bobby Brown's wife Alicia in the BET mini-series The Bobby Brown Story, and played the female lead in the irreverent comedy How High 2. Candice Renee -- who plays Regina, the ex-girlfriend that Bill wants back -- can be seen in the current seasons of both Insecure and Westworld on HBO as well as the feature film Bodied produced by Eminem.
The two can discuss what's in store for the exciting mid-season finale, their experiences working with Tyler Perry, and the positive depictions of African American characters -- both men and women -- that the show creates.
