According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mara Brock Akil's husband, Salim Akil (who directed most of the series, and co-wrote one episode with his wife) will take over development of the fourth season at BET, and Mara will serve as Executive Producer. (Mind you, Mara is probably the single most important name in Black television over the last decade...#icalledit)
Money quote:
"The cable network is expected to announce at its upfront presentation this month that it is resurrecting the CW sitcom with original episodes."
The article says most of the cast will be returning. No specifics on who'll come up absent, but this is definitely news for BET, who as a network, has very few original scripted series under its belt. The article is sure to point out the 2008 effort, 'Somebodies' which had been set to appear for a second season, but...
Yeah. About that.
