What’s This TV Show About?

A BET original drama from creators Devon Gregory and Jonathan Price, American Soul stars Sinqua Walls, Kelly Price, Jason Dirden, Iantha Richardson, Katlyn Nichol, Jelani Winston, and Christopher Jefferson. The series blends fictional and real-life people, places and events, as it charts the rise of the cultural phenomenon of Soul Train.

Telly’s Take

Will American Soul be cancelled or renewed for season two on BET? The series debuted with okay ratings but, because BET has few scripted projects these days, it’s difficult to know what they consider a success numbers-wise. I think it will be renewed but will keep an ear to the ground for news. Subscribe for free American Soul cancellation or renewal news alerts.
