The impeccable cast is coming back together. The 1999 classic film ‘The Best Man’ will be turned into a limited series. Peacock has ordered a 10 episode series ‘The Best Man: The final chapters.’

The original cast, including Regina Hall, Taye Diggs, Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, Morris Chestnut, Melissa De Sousa, and Harold Perrineau have all reportedly signed on to star in the anticipated series. The only actress that will not be making a return would be Monica Calhoun, whose character died in the sequel ‘ The Best Man Holiday’. Creators of the series are reportedly eyeing a September start. 

Writer and director Malcom D. Lee can’t wait to get started, in a statement with deadline, “Here we go! The band is back together! I am very excited to bring these iconic characters back to the fans who have supported us through this franchise,” said Lee. “We are thrilled to deliver everything one would expect from this group of friends in The Best Man universe and take them through their final chapters. We can’t wait! I told you it wouldn’t be 14 more years.”

‘The Best Man: The Final Chapters’ is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. 

On Peacock, ‘The Best Man: The Final Chapters’ will join a number of revivals and reboots of iconic Universal titles, including Saved By the Bell, Punky Brewster and Battlestar Galactica.
