BET reportedly wanted the cast of the Being Mary Jane TV show to film season four and season five back-to-back (presumably to save on production costs). However, Gabrielle Union had it in her contract that there would be a significant break between seasons. That lawsuit was ultimately settled but there’s been no word on if Being Mary Jane has or will be renewed for season five. Will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
Being Mary Jane revolves around the life of a successful TV news anchor from Atlanta, Mary Jane Paul (Gabrielle Union). In season four, when Kara (Lisa Vidal) helps her land a gig as a correspondent on a national morning news show in NYC, Mary Jane makes the move to achieve her lifetime career goal of becoming a national lead anchor. The rest of the BET cast includes Margaret Avery, Aaron D. Spears, Richard Brooks, BJ Britt Jr., Raven Goodwin, Richard Roundtree, Valarie Pettiford, Chike Okonkwo, and Michael Ealy.

What do you think? Do you like the Being Mary Jane TV series on BET? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
Also, you people need to understand not every show always have good seasons, there’s always an off kind of season, but in my opinion this isn’t one of them, like this season really got my attention, but what makes it kind of “eh”, is Lee.
I would literally be so hurt if you canceled this show! This show, is by far the best I’ve seen in a long time, everything needs IT’S tweaks and adjustments, but please people don’t cancel this show. 🙁
Renew Gabrielle Union Wade please !!!!! I would love to see a season5 and ongoing. She has a message for successful black women and that platform should be displayed there’s no show on air like it right now. It shows real feeling and life sitiuactions and even the vulnerability of an independent women. I love that it displays black family together instead of apart and against one another Situations that can be related to in families of all races. This show needs to continue !!!!! OH I LOVE THE QUOTES Please bring David back into her life Lee is not… Read more »
I wouldn’t Even go as far as saying, “David”, but i know Lee is not the man for her. it may honestly be Justin, he is so freaking cute. But yes the damn quotes are so good, and Kara needs to stop being ******* stupid!!! ( i llve her though)
They need the original writers back. The new writers suck. The show is to Surfacy lacks content. It is low budget now.
I believe the show needs to be cancelled. It’s not as interesting as the other seasons . All the seasons grasp viewers attention and it was the trending topic of discussion online, home amongst friends and colleagues. Somewhere the writing went wrong.
Yeah… Not in it this season. Something is missing. I think the writers need to revisit the pervious seasons and draw a storyline from those episodes. I think the storyline with David really made a difference. I need more and if the upcoming episodes continue as they have been … this will be one fan that will no longer be a fan.
I really like this show, and i personally thing it should continue and go on to have a final season. I love the quotes, sex appeal and everything about this show. I want to see how things will go in mary janes life. Gab played a great role in this tv show. I take it that i learn something from each episode, each quote,and the tone of the show. I want to see more from it.
I love this show bc it touches on teal life topics… Very relatable issues & Gabrielle Union is fabulous as well as her other cast members… 5stars from me
I’m disappointed with this season. Mary Jane hasn’t grown in the character. I was hoping to see the writers explore more on the match maker suggesting MJ needed to do some work on herself. …..my take. Step up the writing because Netflix is taking over!
They should definitely do a season 5 but the writers need to go back from season 1-2 and pick pieces of those event and re-enter them in her life and get rid of Lee , he’s my fellow Brit but compare him to Andre, Cutty ,David or the white guy he’s just not there on the sex appeal. David should be trying to get Mary Jane back but just doing an interview on her show or moving to New York . Or her mom go to hospital for a period and when Mary Jame got to the hospital David is… Read more »
Not liking this season at all. The show has lost its edge and flavor. Lee as a love interest has no spark. Where is David?
Are you stupid? This is a really ******* good season, only thing that’s wrong with it, is she’s with Lee, but if she were to get with Justin it would be the ******* best
I’ll continue through this season if they go back home to stay. Love you Gabrielle
Personally, so far this year, I am not a fan of this season. I love her character, and all of the characters. I think the acting is great and she is as real as real, but for me, every other line is a lesson in politics & morals an attacks on someone or some group..there is to much..to many stories and no meat. I want real but I feel like I am being schooled constantly.
I just don’t feel this season can’t get into since season 1 even with Handsome Michael Ealy I still can’t get into the show. I don’t think it will make a season 5
This season is not doing it for me. I miss the family and friends from last season. The storylines are just okay. Last season and previous seasons were so much better. I find myself not paying attention while it’s on.
