Friends. Betrayal. Affluence. Drama. These are the words that BET television uses to describe the premier of it's first web series BUPPIES, which will run for ten weeks starting tomorrow November 24. The series will focus on a young group of friends who are apart of the black power elite in L.A. Now while the concept of a web series isn't new, this is however the first time one will feature an African-American principal cast. BUPPIES will chronicle the ups and downs of this group of friends and their fight to stay intact . Some web series haven't fared as well as others, but the expectation is that BUPPIES will do extremely well. To start it's star is a familiar face to many, Tatyana Ali of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and "Young and the Restless" fame. And the creator and producer are critically acclaimed filmmakers, Julian Breece and Aaliyah Williams. Both of whom have garnered praise as IndieWire's "Top 10 New Voices in Black Cinema." The overall goal of the web series is to, "usher in a new chapter in African American storytelling," with African-American stars in dominant roles in front and behind the cameras.
The initial episode will pick up as Tatyana Ali's character, Quinci Allen, has just lost her celebrity father and been dumped by her basketball star fiance'. What is supposed to be a party thrown by friends to cheer her up quickly turns out to be the setting for dark secrets to be exposed and personal drama brought to the forefront. And what unravels after will be what keeps you coming back to view each episode thereafter.
