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?
Wow! I didn’t realize so many people were feeling what I was feeling. I absolutely love the show but felt the temparature drop with season 4. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciated Pauleta having less day to day drama. However, it left the show sort of dry, there was no connection to her previous life in ATL and that made her seem like a robot. Although, I do not agree with my other fellow watchers that her and David should get back together, I would like a defining closure on all the past characters, especially if they are not planning… Read more »

Just keep the show plz
I love the show super excited for season 4 please keep it going and bring in season 5 this show is the nest show ever
I Love this show, I was hooked season 1. This show transcended across all races and ages (I am a 56 year old white female) I could identify with Gab and her isues as a women in her career, family and personal life. Love her quotes and the humor of the show (stealing the sperm and freezing it in her freezer telling her girlfriends and the betrayal of and friend outing her to Sperm Man. Loved how she handled blackmail. David and Justin had great chemistry and sex appeal. Showing her growth on her personal and career journey not setteling… Read more »
I was not pleased with the current season of being Mary Jane! I feel that it lacked the intense drama of the previous seasons! I truly miss the family drama between Mary Jane and her family, it brought a sense of reality to the show! I’m really not feeling the New outlook for the show!
I loved season 4. Especially due to the fact that Kara got love. I don’t really get the part on why MJ keeps jumping from man to man yet her bio clock is ticking. It’s not sensible. Being with Lee also should have been the turning point but then again she cheats with Justin. That part of the show is becoming very predictable.
Also please stop using Kenya in every pity-case-example…The Samburu project(season 3), Kenyan girls who need help, Kenyan projects…C’mmon there are many other African countries you can use.
Love the show though.
The season 4 of being mary jane was quite good, but that guy lee didn’t work for me at all. pliz let justin take over and bring back david
they definitely need to remove lee, bas acting , no chemistry!
i really hope they dnt cancel this show, its just too good!
Please bring back Being Mary Jane not sure is an excellent show I have been watching it since season 1 Gabrielle Union is an excellent character in this series please let there be season 5 for Being Maryjane. Thank you
Well said, if I can give your comment 10 Stars I would, Absoulty love her and I hope and pray they will continue with the show.
Not to sound like a script writer but when Season 1 came out there was a statement the program started with that a certain percentage of black women don’t get married… all the other seasons have shown true ups and downs of relationships one encounters. It kind of made Black women who have never been married before relate to Mary Janes life whether it be career, family and/or Love. Perhaps in S4 MJ may have met her Prince after kissing many frogs but it wasn’t as relatable as the what most woman experience daily hence some just could not connect… Read more »
‘Being Mary Jane’ gives me life! This tvshow should really continue, the acting has 10/10 and the message it gives its so important. #1Fan
Season 4 was a welcome change. Not only city locale but characters as well.Love the drama between MJ and Rhonda. Michael Ealy has brought a whole new dynamic to the show. Eager for season 5 to begin in July.
Love season 4. Keep Mary Jane on BET. Would love to see another season.
Yes, Being Mary Jane should be renewed. However; they need to bring David back and allow them to have a successful relationships, w/ various ups and down…similar to the Game. That would be more realistic than her jumping from man to man.
