Un-Canceled? Jussie Smollett Returns with 'B-Boy Blues' on BET+ After Scandal
Three years is enough time for a comeback... right? (Take note, Ezra Miller.) On Thursday, BET+ announced that it had picked up B-Boy Blues, an LGBTQ film directed and written by Jussie Smollett. It's his first project since being found guilty of making false reports of a hate crime.
The film is an adaptation of a James Earl Hardy novel of the same name and stars folks such as Timothy Richardson, Brandee Evans, Heater B, Marquise Vilson, and Jabari Reed. Mona Scott-Young is set to be a producer on the film.
"Through our content slate, we are intentional about representing the fullness of the Black experience, including that of the LGBTQ+ community," said BET+ executive vice president Devin Griffin in a statement. "'B-Boy Blues' is an artful,
heart-rending film about the complexity of love – something we all can relate to."
