Starring Mike Epps, the series follows Bennie Upshaw (Epps), “the head of a Black working class family in Indianapolis, is a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family — wife Regina (Kim Fields), their two young daughters (Khali Spraggins, Journey Christine) and firstborn son (Jermelle Simon), the teenage son (Diamond Lyons) he fathered with another woman (Gabrielle Dennis) — and tolerate his sardonic sister-in-law (Wanda Sykes), all without a blueprint for success. But the Upshaws are determined to make it work, and make it to the next level, together. In this upcoming part, the Upshaws continue to ride life’s ups and downs, including new jobs, bigger dreams, health struggles and some major life surprises but still hanging on with the love that comes with family,” reads the official synopsis, per Netflix.
Alongside Epps, Page Hurwitz, Wanda Sykes, Niles Kirchner, Annie Levine & Jon Emerson, Mark Alton Brown, and Regina Hicks serve as executive producers on the comedy. Hicks and Sykes both serve as showrunners.
