Exclusive: Folake Olowofoyeku Talks Season 2 Of CBS’ Bob Hearts Abishola

Currently airing on CBS is season 2 of their comedy series, Bob Hearts Abishola, starring Billy Gardell, Folake Olowofoyeku, Christine Ebersole, Matt Jones, Maribeth Monroe, Vernee Watson, Shola Adewusi, Barry Shabaka Henley, Travis Wolfe, Jr., and Gina Yashere. 

BOB ♥ ABISHOLA is a love story about a middle-aged compression sock businessman from Detroit who unexpectedly falls for his cardiac nurse, a Nigerian immigrant, while recovering from a heart attack and sets his sights on winning her over. Undaunted by Abishola’s lack of initial interest or the vast differences in their backgrounds, Bob is determined to win Abishola’s heart, in this comedic examination of immigrant life in America.

For Folake Olowofoyeku, this is her biggest role to date. Having appeared in guest roles on several programs such as The Gifted, Modern Family, How to Get Away with Murder, Westworld, Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Law & Order: Criminal Intent, the show allows the Nigerian actress and some of its cast members to speak in the Yoruba language.

In speaking with BlackFilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales, Olowofoyeku talks about what to expect in Season 2.
