Tracee Ellis Ross Gets New BET Comedy Series
Actress Tracee Ellis Ross has been reportedly tapped by BET for a new original comedy series. The 37-year-old former ‘Girlfriends’ star will produce and star in a pilot called ‘Reed Between The Lines.’
According to Eurweb, Ross will portray a Dr. Carla Reed, “a busy psychiatrist, wife, and mom struggling to balance her job, and her happy but chaotic home life.”
The actress will be co-producer to the show along with Arthur Harris. The new BET pilot was written by Kellie Griffin.
Production is scheduled to begin in Atlanta on August 11.
BET has also added Queen Latifah’s production ‘Let’s Stay Together’ and a fresh new season of ‘The Game.’
Could BET make a comeback? Will you tune into Ross’ new show?

lovely!
I’m so glad she’s back!!! I’ve missed her on the small screen since Girlfriends was cancelled (and by the way, I’m STILL salty about that) so I will be watching.
I look forward to seeing the new show! :-)
It would be genius if Reggie Hayes was hired as the hubby to Carla. He and Tracie rocked as William and Joan on GF. I hated it when their characters ended things!
Glad to see some productive programming. But BET will not be where it needs to be with them alone.
I’m just glad to see her back on TV again. though I’d love to see her on ‘Girlfriends’ but I’ve moved on.
I think Tracee’s new show might be the only thing that might make me tune back into BET. But it depends on how good the first few episodes are. Anyway, I wish her luck on this new project.
glad Tracee is back on tv
Yay! I hope this isn’t just a rumor. I love Tracee, don’t know how I feel about her becoming a tv mom though. Time will tell…
yay! i’ll definitely tune in to her new show. i LOVE her!
Yay!
i sure will tune in..
Congrats to Ms. Tracee E. Ross! Can’t wait to watch…a funny version of my future…..so excited!
Can’t wait to see Ellis Ross back on the tube. A very talented actress who was obviously raised VERY WELL by two beautiful parents.
Loves Tracee and Girlfriends was a great show
YAY! I can’t wait to see her again on TV with her lovely style. Now if only BET can get rid of 106 & porch.
Having a Tom Cruise moment (Jumping up an down on my couch)!!! Since the unfinished season of Girlfriends got jacked by the “writer’s strike” I’ve been waiting on this.
I will definitely be tuning in. Maybe BET is making a comeback, to finally representing all facets of black culture. Not all of us are a hot mess.
Get to check that delicious booty once again…
I will not watch the new shows because no black people live anywhere but in Atlanta,,,Atlanta’s black community is nothing but a carbon copy of other cities. I’ve been to a Atlanta and still haven’t seen it’s midtown overflowing with black people like other cities. Black Atlanta is not in Fulton County but on the outskirts of the city who lable themselves at being in Atlanta…..
So…you do you LIVE in Atlanta…or have you VISITED Atlanta?? Because Atlanta does have a lot of black people…but it’s just one city. Just like College Park. Decatur. Duluth. Alpharetta. Stone Mountain. Marietta. And if you want to travel outside of I-285…there’s Augusta, Athens, Conyers….so again. Do you LIVE there or have you VISITED?? I’m really confused by your comment…..*scratches head*
On the strength of Tracee Ellis Ross I’ll DEFINITELY be watching this. I’M STILL SALTY ABOUT THE CANCELLATION OF GIRLFRIENDS, BEST SHOW EVER!!! Haven’t had a favorite show since (well The Game came close, but then that got cancelled too). So, the market is wide open for a new favorite as I refuse to watch TV that much anymore.
