“It took 5 years for the right network to see what we knew immediately. That The Ms. Pat Show was telling real stories about a real Black family, that it was funny, and hard, and just special. It only took two weeks for BET+'s audience to celebrate what the Ms. Pat team put on that screen every episode. We are thrilled at the response from fans, Black Twitter specifically, and look forward to what season 2 will bring.” - LEE DANIELS, executive producer of “The Ms. Pat Show”:
