What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the BET cable channel, American Soul stars Sinqua Walls, Kelly Price, Jason Dirden, Iantha Richardson, Katlyn Nichol, and Christopher Jefferson. Season two guests include Big Boi, Ledisi, Melanie Fiona, Demetria McKinney, London Brown, Darius McCrary, Tone Bell, Yung Joc, D.C. Young Fly, Christopher B. Duncan, Kearran Giovanni, Alex Ball, and Hudson Thames. The series blends fictional and real-life people, places, and events, as it charts the rise of the cultural phenomenon of Soul Train. The story centers on creator and host Don Cornelius (Walls), and the Soul Train dancers, as they strive to make it in the racially charged Los Angeles of the ’70s. Season two picks up in 1975. As Don becomes a rising star, he continues to manage an assortment of spectacular talent that comes to his show, a complicated family life, failing personal health, and perhaps most importantly, his ego.

Telly’s Take
Will BET cancel or renew American Soul for season three? The cable channel doesn’t have many original scripted series and this one has done okay in the ratings so, I think it will be renewed.

I love this show so far and I love the Soul Train story. It’d be interesting to see more of Don Cornelius’s life as well as those of the fictional characters on the show. I hope it does get renewed for Season three.
