Set in a New York legal aid office, In Contempt follows outspoken attorney Gwen Sullivan (Ash) as she deals with complicated cases. She works with quick-witted and egotistical lawyer Charlie Riggs (Christian Keyes) and gets advice from her stern father, Earl Sullivan (Richard Lawson), a former judge. Additional cast members include Daniel Kash, Megan Hutchings, Mouna Traore, Ronnie Rowe Jr., and Tobias Truvillion.
The BET series debuted on April 10, 2018, and ran until June 12, 2018. There are 10 episodes.
BET released the following statement: “At this time, BET Networks will not be moving forward with a second season of In Contempt. We are grateful to the incredible cast and producers. We would especially like to thank and recognize the acclaimed Executive Producers Terri Kopp, who created the series, Lance Samuels and Daniel Iron. We look forward to finding ways to continue in partnership. We are also excited to continue our relationship with the star of In Contempt, Erica Ash as she is set to star along Paula Patton in the film Sacrifice premiering this fall on BET+.”
What do you think? Did you like the In Contempt TV show on BET? Should it have been cancelled? Would you have watched a second season?
‘In Contempt’ You should have more programs like this. fantastic characters and really good program.
Really enjoyed this show. On par with Law and order.
Big mistake cancelling this show! Was right up there with scandal… Come on BET you had a winner I would have watched 10 more seasons…and no finale really???
InContempt was a great show. So sad it’s not being renewed. Can’t imagine anything bad about the show. Who ever decided not to renew is crazy. The movie Sacrifice was a joke. That money could have been put towards InContempt.
I’ve just finished watching season 1. A great show with many twists amd turns and even some good belly laughs. I really cannot understand why it’s been ended
was a really great show
I don’t think In Contempt should have been cancelled. It was a great show right ’till the end. I think it was getting to personal in Gwen’s character, but the court stuff was very good and kept me watching. However, it is O.K. to dump The Oval Office. It should have been a movie that ended!!!!
Please bring this show back it was a winner. Why was it cancelled? Everybody that watched this show was in love. Please reconsider this decision
Please bring this show back it was definitely worth watching so sad to hear it won’t be coming back for a second even a third season one of yet another great show gone
Really good show hope they reconsider 2nd season
In Contempt was the best show I’ve seen in a long time. Especially on BET. Hands down best show on BET.
Please reconsider the decision to cancel this amazing tv show with actors that really made this show seem real.
Incontemp was a very interesting show dealing with what truly goes on in courts around the world it was entertaining & awake call & ash & castdid a great job,i hope BET bri gs it back or someone else picks it up
Why all black shows that show the law defending people showing we just not clowns comedy shows get cancelled bring it back he’ll IL HELP pay for it
STILL SO VERY TRUE! What is really sad is that we black folk perpetuate this crap!!
This was a great show and should not have been cancelled.
In Contempt was a great series! Great acting with fresh faces and awseome story lines. It is so unfortunate how it appears BET can’t keep quality programming. I really hope this isn’t the last of this show, and that another network can run with it!
