Decades Later, the Cast of 'Martin' Come Back Together for BET+'s Reunion Special
For TV watchers of the 90's, few sitcoms are as iconic the Martin Lawrence-led "Martin." Running for five seasons starting in 1992, the cast of "Martin" are coming back together for the first time in decades for BET+'s reunion special.
The "Martin" reunion special will be hosted by Affion Crockett, with Martin Lawrence, Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold, Carl Anthony Payne II, and other surprise guests set to appear. According to a BET+ press release, the reunion will take "a look at the show's origin and evolution" and "will feature interviews with the cast, original directors, special musical performances, and behind the scenes commentary on the importance and impact of the show that shaped a generation."
Following characters created by the titular comedian, "Martin" has long been recognized for having a huge influence on popular culture, providing a look into Black American life. Notable for its healthy portrayal of Black relationships and featuring young, ambitious leads, "Martin" changed the way Black people were depicted in American media.
Regarding the reunion special, Lawrence said, "To be able to sit here thirty years later with this amazing cast that has had such an impact on pop cultureis truly a blessing. I am always humbled that the fans still want more of the show and its characters. I am looking forward to the reunion special."
The "Martin" reunion special will be launched later this year on BET+ with no definite dates announced. Will you be tuning in to watch the "Martin" reunion special?
