They're trying to eat off those black shows that are doing so well. I'm cool with seeing a feel good all black cast comedy show though

"Showtime’s new series hopeful will explore friendship and dating from the distinct perspectives of three young Black men born and raised in Inglewood, Calif., a suburb of Los Angeles. As the city experiences gentrification, the three will have to balance fatherhood, ambition, and loyalty to each other, at a time when their companionship is being tested the most. Set in the present day, new complications, such as social media, are in play for these characters, as well as the loves and lack thereof, in their lives.

While it is unclear when The Wood is set to debut on Showtime, or its cast, the inclusion of Famuyiwa and Hillian gives promise to the future of this series. The Wood’s pilot will be a production of Paramount Television Studios and is also executive produced by David Gale and Van Toffler, for Gunpowder & Sky."

Hope it gets picked up. Gotta have Stacey come through at least once.

But they also dropped the ball on the Barbershop series as well.

So we'll see.

So I wonder if it will be the same characters but different actors or new characters. Wouldn’t mind the original cast coming back to tell more stories of their youth as they try and balance being men of a certain age and fatherhood etc.
