EXCLUSIVE: BET+ has renewed its Emmy-nominated series The Ms. Pat Show for a fourth season.
From Patricia “Ms. Pat” Williams and Jordan E. Cooper, the series lifts from Williams’ life experiences covered in her memoir Rabbit: The Autobiography of Ms. Pat, which tells the story of a drug dealer and convicted felon turned suburban mom.
“It’s going to be another great and funny season and we’re so excited,” Williams tells Deadline exclusively. “I don’t want to give anything away but as you know, we’re always challenging ourselves. What I will say is that Season 4 will be better than prior seasons.”
When asked how she keeps storylines fresh and doesn’t run out of new content she said with a laugh, “There’s something happening in my house every day.”
Williams confirmed work on Season 4 was set to begin the week the WGA called for a strike as the AMPTP declined to negotiate terms. The comedian said The Ms. Show team is “just waiting” now [for a fair deal]. “We’re ready to get back to work,” she said.
Cooper supported the WGA Black writers picket line at Paramount Studios on May 10.
Deadline announced Williams signed an overall deal with BET in July under which she will produce, write and perform in new series and other projects—both scripted and unscripted— across BET linear and streaming. Under that deal, Williams has two new shows that are in development: the animated series Krack Babies and the workplace comedy Hud.
Krack Babies—referencing children that fall through the cracks of the system—is set in 1980s inner-city Atlanta and based on Williams’ childhood stories.
As per the logline, Atlanta is a crazy place for kids to grow up, the streets around Corn Ridge apartment in Little Five Points are full of dealers and
