The Upshaws is returning soon with new episodes. Netflix has announced a premiere date for part four (aka the first portion of season three) of the comedy series with the release of a trailer.
Starring Wanda Sykes, Mike Epps, Kim Fields, Page Kennedy, Diamond Lyons, Khali Spraggins, Jermelle Simon, Gabrielle Dennis, and Journey Christine, the multi-camera sitcom revolves around the ups and downs of a working-class family living in Indianapolis. Bennie Upshaw (Epps) is a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess, just trying his best to step up and care for his family. He’s married to Regina (Fields), and they have three children together — daughters Aaliyah (Spraggins) and Maya (Christine) and son Bernard Jr. (Simon). Bennie’s teenage son Kelvin (Lyons), who is the same age as Aaliyah, has a strained relationship with his dad. He was conceived with Tasha Lewis (Dennis) when Bennie thought he and Regina were on a break. There’s also sardonic Lucretia (Sykes), Regina’s older sister, who doesn’t like Bennie but still provides money to open his garage. Through thick and thin, the Upshaws are determined to make it work and reach the next level together.
Netflix hasn’t revealed any details about The Upshaws return other than that the new episodes will be released on August 17th.

What do you think? Are you excited to see more of this Netflix comedy this summer?
I have loved Sykes and had an appreciation for Epps ( Friday movies ) for a long time. I checked out a few episodes in the first year and found it to be just another cookie-cutter formula. However, I stopped watching when they decided to introduce two men as lovers on the show. I abhor harming anyone because of their sexuality just as much as I abhor Hollywood’s decision to promote two men wanting to kiss each other as good and normal.
So, you love Wanda Sykes (who is a lesbian), but don’t like seeing two men kiss? What if Wanda was kissing another woman on the show? Would that have been okay or would you have decided you don’t like her anymore? Just wondering.
Love this show
