UMC Acquires ‘The Available Wife’ Starring Tyler Perry's Sistas Actress KJ Smith

Deadline has reported that UMC picked up The Available Wife out of the recently wrapped American Black Film Festival.  The film will hit the streamer on December 17.

Starring KJ Smith (BET’s Sistas) and directed by Jamal Hill, the film is a romantic original feature written by Tressa Azarel Smallwood (BET's All In), Jamal Hill (Deuces)  and Kyjuan Cleveland.

The drama follows Nicole Wright (Smith), a beautiful and successful music CEO whose life is about to crumble in front of her. While having an affair with the sexy artist on the rise who promises her everything (Terayle Hill), Nicole learns the hard way that looks can be deceiving and his motives are as dark as the secrets she keeps. Clifton Powell and Roger Guenveur Smith round out the cast.

Smallwood produced through via her MegaMind Productions along with Audrea Topps Harjo. “Early last year, UMC premiered Tressa’s film Secrets to a great response from our passionate subscribers. Our audience has shown that it thoroughly enjoys the twists and turns Tressa’s writing displays and we’re excited for fans to indulge in the jaw-dropping storylines she showcases in her latest film The Available Wife,” said Brett Dismuke, UMC’s Chief Content Officer.
