Premiering Tuesday, January 27 at 10:00 p.m.*, season three of BALDWIN
HILLS finds many cast members at significant turning points in their lives.
Staci is struggling to find a way to reconnect with her friends and to let
them in on some devastating news; Justin and Seiko are ready to take their
spirituality to the next level together; Gerren has to decide whether she's
willing to lose a friend, Tyler, over her ex, Moriah; newcomer Etienne has a
famous actress for a parent but is way more at home behind the camera; and new
face Trason has to redirect his professional life after a serious shoulder
injury sidelines his football career.
During its first two seasons, the BET original series BALDWIN HILLS
redefined what it meant to be young and privileged in Los Angeles as it
followed the everyday lives of a group of African American teens from a very
real and very exclusive enclave called Baldwin Hills. The top-rated series
brings the world of ordinary middle-class African American families out of the
shadows and onto the national stage - proving to be a hit with parents and
teens alike.
BALDWIN HILLS is produced by Michael McNamara, Sheri Maroufkhani and Bill
Rademaekers of MCFilmworks, in conjunction with BET Networks. Robyn Lattaker-
Johnson (SVP, Development - Original Programming) is the executive in charge
for BET, with Kevin Morrison as Senior Director of Development.
