‘The Best Man: The Final Chapters’ TRAILER: Harper’s Controversial Book ‘Unfinished Business’ Will Cause MORE Trouble

The first trailer for "The Best Man: The Final Chapters" has arrived, giving fans a sneak peek at what’s to come. Find out how Harper’s controversial book “Unfinished Business” will cause more trouble inside… The gang’s back! The first trailer for "The Best Man: The Final Chapters" just dropped after it premiered at the Urbanworld Film Festival, the same place the franchise’s first film was announced at. And it appears the group of friends we met in 1999 will end up in even more drama cause by Harper Stewart’s controversial book, “Unfinished Business.” Peacock’s "The Best Man: The Final Chapters" will debut all eight hour-long episodes on Thursday, December 22nd, just in time to binge during this holiday season. In the trailer, we see how the group of friends evolved over the years. Harper Stewart (played by Taye Diggs) is a famed author who gets the opportunity of turning his book, “Unfinished Business” into a film. Yes, THAT book. The book that almost got him thrown off a balcony. The book that almost cost him his friendship with Lance (played by Morris Chestnut). The reunited star-studded cast includes Morris Chestnut, Melissa De Sousa, Taye Diggs, Regina Hall, Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long and Harold Perrineau. Malcolm D. Lee returns as the writer, executive producer, and director, along with co-showrunner Dayna Lynne North of Loud Sis Productions and “Insecure” writer Dominique Telson for Blackmaled Productions. There will be several new faces joining as the recurring cast, including Nicole Ari Parker, Ron Canada, Brandon Victor Dixon, Michael Genet, Yvonna Pearson, Aaron Serotsky, Terrence Terrell, Tobias Truvillion and Eric Scott Ways.  And there’s a wedding! It appears Quentin Spivey (played by Terrence Howard) will tie the knot in the upcoming series:           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Malcolm D Lee (@malcolmdlee)     “When I wrote The Best Man, it was out of a desire to see myself on screen. Growing up I rarely saw Black people — Black men in particular — the way my friends and I saw ourselves: educated, upwardly mobile African-Americans who were just ‘normal’ (Barack and Michelle before Barack and Michelle),” series creator and co-showrunner Malcom D. Lee said in a statement. “Given the moment that we are in, this is the perfect time to revisit Harper, Lance, Murch, Quentin, Jordan, Robyn, Candace and Shelby and go on the wild, emotional, hilarious ride with them, as they deal with their own journeys through parenting, activism, old love, new love and the complexities of being Black in 21st Century America,” he continued. “It is now more than ever that the world is craving to see what I’ve worked my entire career to show: relatable, universal stories about Black people and their humanity.  It has always been my mission to make African-American stories mainstream. It is my life’s work to tell stories that include and elevate us. And I hope my legacy will be that I represented for us.”   Malcolm D. Lee will director four episodes. Robert Townsend, Charles Stone III, and Stacey Muhammad will also serve as directors.            View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Malcolm D Lee (@malcolmdlee)   Check out the first trailer below: "The Best Man: The Final Chapters" premieres Thursday, December 22nd on Peacock.
