Anglea’s drama won’t continue into the 2022-23 television season. Our Kind of People has been cancelled so it won’t get a second season on FOX. The first season of 12 episodes wrapped in January.
A soapy drama series, the Our Kind of People TV show stars Yaya DaCosta, Morris Chestnut, Joe Morton, Nadine Ellis, Lance Gross, Rhyon Nicole Brown, Kyle Bary, and Alana Bright with Debbi Morgan, L. Scott Caldwell, Raven Goodwin, and Nicole Chanel Williams in recurring roles. The series takes place in the aspirational world of Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard, a historical stronghold where the rich and powerful Black elite have come to play for over 50 years. In the story, a strong-willed and single mother named Angela Vaughn (DaCosta) sets out to reclaim her family’s name and make an impact with her revolutionary haircare line that highlights the innate, natural beauty of Black women. However, she soon discovers a dark secret about her own mother’s past that turns her world upside-down and shakes up this community forever.
Airing on Tuesday nights, the first season of Our Kind of People averaged a 0.30 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 1.35 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). In the live+7 day ratings, the season averaged a 0.49 demo and 2.08 million viewers. The show picked up 64% and 54%, respectively, in the week of delayed viewing.
Unfortunately for fans of the series, those numbers apparently weren’t good enough to nab the drama a renewal. Viewers were left with a cliffhanger and series co-creator Karin Gist shared what would have happened.
At the of end of season one, which ended in January, Nadine Ellis’ Dupont was shot. Gist told Deadline that had the series been renewed, she would survive the shooting from an assailant that was originally looking to harm her father Teddy Franklin (Joe Morton).
“What I love about that is that we spent the season bringing the family together and so, you always have to give families something to root for and a reason to bring them back,” she said. “By the end of the season, the family is cracked because of the Teddy of it all. So hopefully going forward, Leah’s injury will be the touchstone to bring the family back together.”
I hate I didn’t get a chance to voice my opinion when this series first aired. However, I watched it on Tubi and quite frankly I still think it’s time to do another season. Upon finishing the season I immediately ran to the web to see where I could watch the second season…smh..to no avail…nothing. I loved all the actors and actresses especially Yaya, and my all time favorite couple, Angie and Jesse, ouuuu that sent my heart pumping just to see them together again.

Oh I loved it. I wish it returned for season 2
I am late but I never knew of the show when it was on Fox. I just binged watched it on tubi and it was fire! I hate they left me hanging like that. I looked online like where’s season 2?? Only to find out there won’t be 1. Wow! Can’t Tubi or Netflix grab this gem up?….
Yes I loved this show. Please netflix, hulu, tubi, someone pick it up. You can’t leave us hanging.
It was just too much rich, divine, astronomical Black Excellence in one place. Too many sources of inspiration. Too many ancestral references. The Man wasn’t standing for that! lol ~Sincerely, Conspiracy $ista 923

I am so devastated that Our Kind of People has been cancelled. It’s not that many shows that I can honestly say had me waiting for the day of it coming on, had me doing EVERYTHING, that I had to do before it came on. I was able to actually see my EVERYDAY MAN CRUSH—–Morris Chestnut weekly. Not to mention that the storyline was incredible. I’m so disappointed in the network now. I’m just at a loss for words right now. I pray that another network picks it up and renews it for a few season. Someone PLEASE hear my… Read more »
