Actress Imani Hakim is going to be a mom! The Mythic Quest star announced that she and her partner Chris Naoki Lee are expecting their first baby together. The news comes a few weeks after the couple revealed they are engaged.

The actress shared a black and white video that focused on a close-up of Imani and then panned out, revealing the mom-to-be wearing a two-piece set that exposed her growing baby bump. Chris sat beside her and the couple’s dog Kobe. The Gabby Douglas Story alum didn’t share any further details about her baby but wrote in the caption, “world premiere 2025.”

The short film Triptych, a chilling exploration of art’s darker influences, is set to screen at the Abertoir Film Festival, marking another triumph for writer-director Sophia Ray. Starring Emmanuel Imani, the film weaves psychological horror, mystery, and thriller elements into a haunting tale of ambition and reckoning.

Triptych follows Margaux Kasser, a provocative art dealer with a plan to destroy a Hieronymus Bosch masterpiece as part of a performance art piece. However, as the plan unfolds, the painting reveals secrets tied to her past, and Margaux faces a reckoning she may not survive. Against the eerie backdrop of Bosch’s surreal imagery, the film examines the complex interplay of creativity, destruction, and the human condition.

Sophia Ray, known for her visually arresting work in branded content and music videos for artists like Ellie Goulding and Sigrid, has turned her focus to the darker themes of ambition and its toll.

Imani (Jasmine Davis) was a recurring character in The Chi, but she suddenly left the show after season 4 and hasn't been back on since. First introduced in season 3, episode 5, "Terror Town", Imani is a transgender woman who becomes Trig's (Luke James) girlfriend in The Chi. Davis ended up appearing in 13 episodes across seasons 3 and 4 and, with Trig being elevated to a series regular in season 4, it followed that Imani would likely get some more screen time as well. However, Imani never appeared in the cast of The Chi season 5 or season 6.

Imani's last episode ended up being season 4, episode 10, "A Raisin in the Sun" and the character hasn't been back since. It's a shame considering her interesting story. Imani was assigned male at birth, but identified as a woman from a very young age. Sadly, her father never accepted that part of her and even tried to kill Imani when...

While the main character of the story is Emily Carey's Harriet Manners navigating the fashion industry, fans also happened to be most captivated by her Agent, Wilbur, played by Emmanuel Imani on Netflix's Geek Girl.

So, who is the actor and where have you seen him before? Well, get to know more about him here!

Geek Girl's Agent Draws the Most Attention From Fans

Harriet Manners wouldn't have moved forward in her career, had she not met her fairy godmothers/agents who recruited her in fashion, Wilbur Evans (played by Emmanuel Imani) and Betty (Hebe Beardsall).

From the very beginning, Wilbur and Betty have been keeping an eye out for anyone who could stand out from the rest of the common crowds on their shows, and by the premiere of Geek Girl,...

“The mutants are coming. The bell has been rung.” – Yes, that famous dialogue from Batman V Superman has been modified, but it perfectly fits with what Deadpool & Wolverine is about to bring to the theatres. The Deadpool threequel will officially introduce mutants in the MCU’s continuity, and the X-Men fans can’t be more hyped!

Storm in X-Men ’97

As soon as it was confirmed that the mutants were coming to the main timeline, fans began looking up at the possible casting choices for their favorite X-Men. And one of the most popular X-Men characters is Storm aka Ororo Munroe, who happens to be one of their strongest heroes.

Deadpool 3 will be bringing back a number of mutants from the Fox movies, and it is more than likely that Marvel will reboot the older continuity and introduce younger actors as the quintessential X-Men after that. And we have...

Little did Imani (Krystal Joy Brown) know how much her life was going to change just by being stranded in the diner in which she works due to a snowstorm in Heaven Down Here. With her were her boss Dan (Richard Harmon), local pastor Felix (Juan Riedinger), and, most importantly, hospice nurse Clara (Tina Lifford), who went on to introduce her to someone who would change her and her children’s lives. Imani noticed that Clara had a photo of her as a baby (and the birthmark to prove it’s her), and the other woman asked what she knew about her adoption. “My parents never gave me much information. When I got older, I pushed, but they weren’t forthcoming. I figured it was something ugly like I was abandoned, so I didn’t press.” Clara revealed that she knew who her grandmother is: her employer Nancy (Phylicia Rashad), whose daughter — Imani’s mother,...

Krystal Joy Brown leads what’s easily one of the best and most heartwarming Hallmark movies this holiday season, Heaven Down Here. The film, which premieres on December 14 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, is inspired by Mickey Guyton‘s song of the same name. it tells the story of four people who find themselves stranded in a local diner on Christmas Eve when a snowstorm hits: Imani (Brown), a widowed mother of two having trouble making ends meet and stuck working the holiday shift; her boss Dan (Richard Harmon), who doesn’t embody the Christmas spirit; Felix (Juan Riedinger), a local pastor whose faith is challenged by his alienation by his son; and Clara (Tina Lifford), a hospice nurse with an obstinate patient (Phylicia Rashad) and whose daughter is moving away. Brown previews what makes this movie different from any other you’ll watch this year. (It’s not about the romance.

Exclusive: Jingle Jangle and Almost Christmas director/writer/producer David E. Talbert is launching Hbcu Next, a fellowship program that will bring aspiring filmmakers from Historically Black Colleges and Universities to the USC School of Cinematic Arts (Sca) Summer Program.

Talbert conceived and funded Hbcu Next alongside his wife and producing partner Lyn Sisson-Talbert as an opportunity to enrich the educational experience for students of Color. Within this program, participants will gain essential career insights and the creative skills required to develop more authentic portrayals of Black experiences and culture within screenwriting, filmmaking, and the evolving media landscape.

Talbert says, “Our overall objective is to foster an environment for students from HBCUs and USC to engage in cultural exchange, learning from one another’s experiences and backgrounds, and to provide access to an education conducive to giving Black storytellers a pipeline to the entertainment industry.”

Christmas Eve at Rocko’s Diner in Philadelphia finds a menu short on holiday spirit for four struggling strangers stuck during a snowstorm. Heaven Down Here is inspired by the 2020 country hit of the same name by Mickey Guyton, who executive produces the Hallmark movie and, says fellow executive producer Laurie Pozmantier, “gave us tidbits into her personal life and her husband’s personal life [for the story].” Those tales include worried widow Imani (Krystal Joy Brown), a broke waitress separated from her two children when grumpy boss Dan (Richard Harmon) forces her to work the holiday. During the night, Imani bonds with earnest diner Father Felix (Juan Riedinger), who has regrets involving his estranged adult son. “You don’t usually look at a pastor thinking that they’ve got something going on, but [Felix] needs advice too,” Pozmantier says. Also stranded is determined hospice nurse Clara (Tina Lifford), who longs to help obstinate...

“Love Island Games” is already bringing the heat to the villa, as the Peacock spin-off welcomes two new bombshells to the competition: “Love Island U.K.” alum Megan Barton Hanson and “Love Island U.S.A.” alum Johnny Middlebrooks.

Upon entering the villa at the end of Wednesday’s series premiere, “Love Island Games” host Maya Jama informed Barton Hanson and Middlebrooks they could choose to kiss two islanders of their choice. Middlebrooks immediately shook things up by choosing to kiss his ex, Cely Vazquez, and Imani Wheeler, both of whom appeared on “Love Island U.S.A.”

The catch is, however, that the islanders were blindfolded while the bombshells made their choices, leaving those who were picked for a smooch in the dark about the identity of the bombshell.

In an exclusive clip shared with TheWrap, Jama breaks downs the consequences of the bombshells’ decisions, which leaves Ray, who is coupled up with Wheeler,...

Imani Wheeler didn't have enough time to make connections on Love Island USA due to entering the villa late, which hindered her chances of finding a strong match. Despite being beautiful and having a great personality, Imani had a limited pool of male islanders to choose from, similar to previous seasons where likable contestants had difficulty finding compatible partners. It is unfortunate that Imani didn't have a fair chance on Love Island USA, but hopefully, she will have better luck finding love outside of the show.

Imani Wheeler was dumped from the Love Island USA villa and didn't get a fair chance on the series. Imani had coupled up with Kyle Darden at Casa Amor, but the pair didn't last very long, which sent Imani looking for connections elsewhere. She initially went after Carston "Bergie" Bergersen, who she'd gone on one date with but didn't feel a romantic connection to.

Love Island USA season 5, episode 33 featured two eliminations as the season is nearing its finale. Kassy made the decision to recouple with Leo again, leaving Johnnie to choose between Scott and Matia. Zay and Imani got the most votes during the elimination, but Zay was upset by Johnnie and Scott's comments.

Love Island USA season 5, episode 33, featured two eliminations as the season nears its finale. The show's previous episode ended on a cliffhanger with Kassy Castillo unsure of who she wanted to recouple with. She was currently coupled up with Matia Marcantuoni, who she'd returned from Casa Amor with, but had feelings for some other islanders.

Despite what Leonardo Dionicio did to her, she couldn't deny she still loved him. Meanwhile, she was also developing feelings for Johnnie Garcia. The recent Love Island USA episode revealed Kassy's decision and sent three more islanders packing.

Ready for Murder Mystery 3? Judging by how well Murder Mystery 2 did after its recent release on Netflix, here’s hoping there’s round of antics. The Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston-led comedy scored big when it was released six weeks ago, garnering more than 64 million hours viewed, marking it the second biggest opening weekend for a comedy. The film was hit overseas, too. Death becomes this IP, so stay tuned on that.

Meanwhile, the film’s costars have been capturing attention, Zurin Villanueva among them. The young actress, who has appeared in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Insatiable, is also one of the two actors taking on the lead role of Tina Turner in U.S. tour of the Broadway hit, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. In Murder Mystery 2, Villanueva plays Imani, the assistant to Countess Sekou (Jodie Turner-Smith). Giggly and jeering, the scene-stealer loved working alongside Sandler and Aniston.

White Men Can’t Jump, which was first released in 1992, has gotten the remake treatment. It isn’t the first film, or the last, from the last 50 years to be adapted for modern audiences. Nostalgia has dominated the public consciousness, or so the studios say. So, let’s picture this: You want to watch White Men Can’t Jump, and there are now two versions on Hulu with 2023 remake, which was directed by Calmatic from a screenplay by Kenya Barris and Doug Hall. The trend says that the choice is to watch the new one, but is that the right one?

The film follows two former NBA hopefuls, Kamal Allen (Sinqua Walls) and Jeremy (Jack Harlow). Kamal makes ends meet with a job as a delivery man to provide for his wife, Imani (Teyana Taylor), a hairdresser dreaming of opening a salon, and their son, Drew (Aiden Shute). Kamal has lost his...

White Men Can’t Jump is a remake of the 1992 sports comedy with a new cast playing new characters. The original White Men Can’t Jump follows a streetball hustler, Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson), who tricks other players not to underestimate him due to his skin color. Billy teams up with another talented basketball player, Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes), to run the courts of LA and make some money doing so. The 1992 movie is a clever and funny take on the sports comedy genre and the movie has a 77% on Rotten Tomatoes. Snipes and Harrelson’s chemistry is key to the movie's success and their characters are now iconic.

In the 2023 version of White Men Can’t Jump, the character names are changed and some of their traits and roles in the story are different, but the overall plot remains the same. In the new movie, it’s the Sidney stand-in “Kamal Allen...

Seemingly opposite street hoopers, Jeremy — an injury-prone former star — and Kamal — a has-been prodigy still clinging to his dream — team up to take one final shot at living out their dreams. The pair work as basketball hustlers who sucker would-be foes into the idea that white men can’t play as well as Black men. “White Men Can’t Jump” stars Sinqua Walls and Jack Harlow, and debuts this Friday, May 19 exclusively streaming on Hulu. You can watch White Men Can't Jump with a 30-Day Free Trial of Hulu..

So, do you have an appetite for sports films after the entertaining true life-inspired Air from a few weeks ago? To be more specific do you have, as Cheech and Chong most famously proclaimed, a “basketball jones”? Oh, here’s the movie for you! Now unlike the earlier film, this isn’t set in the 1980s, though it has a connection to a previous decade. And it’s not “inspired by true events”. This is more of a rollicking “buddy comedy” and is a remake of a movie from over 30 years ago (the decade being the 1990s). Perhaps it will once and for all either prove this true or false per the still provocative title, White Men Can’T Jump.

Speaking of time, this version starts with a flashback going back only six or seven years. It’s a telling TV interview on a cable sports show profiling high school basketball...

“White Men Can’t Jump” holds a special place in a lot of moviegoers’ hearts; while not the enduring sports classic that writer-director Ron Shelton delivered with his baseball mash note “Bull Durham,” the buddy comedy vividly captures the world of pick-up basketball players, and features three standout performances by Wesley Snipes, Woody Harrelson and Rosie Perez. Director Calmatic’s 2023 remake not only fails to recapture the energy of the first film but seems to misunderstand the cinematic language of streetball, and is largely uninterested in utilizing stars Sinqua Walls and Jack Harlow except as delivery systems for exposition.

Updated only in its excess of contemporary slang and overwrought backstories, “White Men Can’t Jump” exemplifies the aversion to risk and lack of imagination in storytellers mining intellectual property at the behest of blandest-common-denominator-seeking corporate overlords.

Walls plays Kamal Allen, a onetime pro ball hopeful turned parcel deliveryman who relives old glories...

White Men Can't Jump has the unenviable task of living up to one of the best basketball films of all time. Starting from the same central premise -- two unlikely basketball players in Los Angeles hustle their way through games while forging an unlikely bond -- the new film approaches it with a softer and more optimistic tone than the original. While this prevents the remake from finding the same unique vibes that elevated the original, it doesn't keep the new film from being enjoyable on its merits. 20th Century Studios' White Men Can't Jump is a solid film, whose strong cast and production elevate beyond its more standard sports film tropes.

The new White Men Can't Jump follows Kamal (Sinqua Walls), a gifted basketball player who initially seemed destined for a career in the pros. However, a mistake made in his high school all-star days shattered those dreams, and ten years later,...

Plot: Multi-platinum rap superstar Jack Harlow makes his big-screen debut as Jeremy, a former star of the game whose injuries stalled his career, and Sinqua Walls stars as Kamal, once a promising player who derailed his own future in the sport. Juggling tenuous relationships, financial pressures and serious internal struggles, the two ballers—opposites who are seemingly miles apart—find they might have more in common than they imagined possible.

Review: When White Men Can’t Jump was released in 1992, it came at a time when basketball was viewed much differently than it had been decades prior. The chemistry between Woody Harrelson’s unexpected baller and Wesley Snipes’ experienced player made for a mismatch that would work in their favor as Ron Shelton’s movie became a box office hit. Three decades later, White Men Can’t Jump gets a contemporary update as streamers continue to mine their IP. While the remake...

Sinqua Walls and Jack Harlow fail to recall the magic of the 1992 hit in a shallow and mostly unfunny nostalgia play

White Men Can’t Jump did not need remaking. Rosie Perez, queen of the scene-stealers, made sure of that in 1992. “Listening versus hearing” remains among the all-time on-screen debates. Even the title encapsulated a time when basketball fandom in the 80s and 90s really was a black-and-white issue. The A-story about the mobsters hunting for their vigorish? Completely incidental. The R-rating for a comedy? No argument there.

That’s not to say the update, which premieres on Hulu, is an airball. Power’s Sinqua Walls certainly looks the part of Kamal, the hoops prodigy, to the point where the script even makes fun of his uncanny resemblance to the Miami Heat great Dwyane Wade. Teyana Taylor brings her true life experience as an NBA wife to the part of Kamal’s partner,...

The poster for the original 1992 film White Men Can’t Jump featured a photo of its two stars, identified merely as “Wesley” and “Woody.” They were, of course, Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, whose charismatic screen personas were already so well-defined that no further explanation was necessary.

That’s not exactly the case with this ill-advised remake, which comes across as an uninspired retread that lacks its own reason for being other than its appeal to baby boomer nostalgia. And no disrespect to the talents of the new film’s leads, but “Sinqua and Jack” just doesn’t have the same ring. Which is probably why the new White Men Can’t Jump is premiering domestically on Hulu rather than theatrically.

The film is directed by Calmatic, who, after this and the recent House Party, seems to be establishing a strange career pattern making inferior remakes of beloved ‘90s films. Sinqua Walls...

I feel like a broken record these days, and it makes me want to scream.

I watched Calmatic’s latest film, White Men Can’t Jump 2023, written by Kenya Barris, and Doug Hall, and was forced to ask myself once again: Why? What’s wrong with making another film about interracial relations and basketball? Why must it be a remake of White Men Can’t Jump? The 1992 version has so much going for it, but does this updated version have the juice to make its mark on pop culture the way the previous film did? The answer is no, of course not. The film stars Sinqua Walls, Jack Harlow, Teyana Taylor, Lauren Harrier and the late Lance Reddick.

It starts in 2010, and a young Kamal Allen (Walls) is a high school basketball phenom considered the country’s top prospect. His father, Benji Allen (Reddick), manages his career. The two have a good relationship,...

The American Cinematheque on Tuesday announced the opening of submissions for the Proof Film Festival, one of the first-ever film festivals dedicated solely to proof-of-concept short films, which will take place in Los Angeles this year from October 20-22.

The festival, programmed and produced by the non-profit film arts organization, will look to spotlight a slate of innovative films from up-and-coming filmmakers, as well as panel conversations on the art and business of filmmaking, the ultimate goal being to help filmmakers make inroads to the industry with access to mentorship workshops, professional development opportunities and more.

Four juried awards will be presented at the festival’s end, along with one audience choice award, with the jury consisting not only of filmmakers, but also creative executives, managers, agents and more. Industry figures currently on board to participate as jurors include Kyle Bowles, Kristina Cuello, Kate Hagen, Priyanka Kapoor, Sarah Minnie, Yasmin Felice Morris and Kayla Stamps.

As a brand sponsor, The Black List will provide the winning filmmakers with free script hosting on their website, with ShotDeck to provide free yearlong subscriptions to their services, and Panavision to bestow a $60K camera package upon the grand jury award winner, as they look to flesh out a larger project from t heir proof-of-concept.

“Short films oftentimes serve as a calling card for an emerging filmmaker’s future career, and sometimes even go on to become the foundation for a larger production such as a feature film or television series,” said American Cinematheque Film Programmer and Proof Film Festival Founder, Imani Davis. “By dedicating intentional space, networking, and resources for proof-of-concept films, the American Cinematheque can foster connections with filmmakers throughout the entirety of their career.”

Remarked the Black List’s Founder and CEO Franklin Leonard, who is an American Cinematheque board member, “Having marveled at the process by which Whiplash went from short film to feature script on the 2012 Black List to Oscar nominated movie, and having had an unusually close look at the process by which Mr. Malcolm’S List went from a script on the Black List website to short film to feature film, I’m incredibly excited about the potential of Proof as a festival dedicated to highlighting work that functions as proof of concept for further work and stands all on its own. I’m both looking forward to the presentations that Imani and the team curate for the festival and the further work that’s born of relationships created once it starts.”

“We’re very excited to be a sponsor of the inaugural Proof festival,” added Aaron Saffa, manager of Panavision’s New Filmmaker Program. “Panavision is committed to empowering the next generation of storytellers with the tools and support to capture their creative visions. We’re looking forward to seeing the work that’s showcased at Proof, celebrating the emerging talent, and supporting the grand jury award winner on the next steps of their creative journey.”...

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston reunite for more mystery hijinks in the Netflix sequel “Murder Mystery 2,” with the duo poised to solve yet another case – although this time it’s not just a murder. The film finds Nick (Sandler) and Audrey Spitz (Aniston) invited to the wedding of The Maharajah, only to become involved in a murder and kidnapping plot that finds them traveling to Paris. A bevy of suspects abound, but which of them is behind this dastardly plot?

Below we’ve rounded up a full list of suspects in the form of a “Murder Mystery 2” cast and character guide, now that the movie is streaming on Netflix.

Adam Sandler as Nick Spitz

Sandler returns as Nick Spitz, working full-time as a private detective with his wife but struggling with both the job and their marriage. Sandler recently starred in a Netflix film of a different sort,...

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Murder Mystery 2!

Nick and Audrey Spitz return to solve a kidnapper plot, and Murder Mystery 2's ending delivers a few big twists and surprises in the resolution of the crime. Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston returned for another whodunnit mystery on Netflix that picks up four years after the original film. The premise of the sequel sees Nick and Audrey travel to a private island for a wedding of a former friend, only for the groom to be kidnapped the night of the festivities. It sparks a massive search for who kidnapped The Maharajah (Adele Akhtar), which makes the cast members in Murder Mystery 2 as Nick and Audrey's new suspect list.

The entirety of the sequel picks up four years after Murder Mystery's ending and sees Nick and Audrey attempt to make careers as investigators/private detectives. The kidnapping of The Maharajah...

Murder Mystery was released in 2019 and, according to Netflix’s own reporting, was a smash hit. This solidified Adam Sandler’s relationship with the streaming company; he would later sign a new development deal with them. With more movies to come, Netflix is banking on two things, Sandler’s undeniable star power and his ability to make semi-entertaining movies with all-star casts. Murder Mystery 2 is entirely built on these two principles, and if audiences enjoyed Murder Mystery, they will get more of the same with its sequel and nothing else.

Murder Mystery 2 follows Nick (Sandler) and Audrey Spitz (Jennifer Aniston), the unlikely mystery-solving couple from New York. After solving the murder of billionaire Malcolm Quince (Terence Stamp), Nick and Audrey return to everyday life as newly licensed private investigators. The former police officer and hairdresser enjoy the thrill of solving a crime, and little do they know that...

To quote the evil Noah Cross in Chinatown, “Politicians, ugly buildings and whores all get respectable if they last long enough.” The same can be said of Adam Sandler, who spent years as a piñata for critics as a result of such mindless comedies as Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. Now he’s an acclaimed actor, his name floated by Oscar prognosticators for such superb performances as the ones he gave in Uncut Gems and Hustle. He’s even joined the ranks of such illustrious comedic talents as Richard Pryor and George Carlin in winning the Mark Twain Prize.

But Sandler’s ultimately gotta be Sandler, and that huge deal with Netflix has to be fulfilled. Hence the arrival of Murder Mystery 2, the sequel to the critically panned 2019 comedy co-starring Jennifer Aniston that became the streamer’s biggest hit that year. This film brings back the goofy, doofus Sandler...

2019’s Murder Mystery was an international romp which saw Jennifer Aniston’s crime novel-obsessed hairdresser and Adam Sandler’s cop take a European trip and get swept up in a whodunit. It was a hit for Netflix becoming one of the streamer’s most watched movies and a sequel was greenlit which is now upon us.

Aniston and Sandler are back as husband and wife Audrey and Nick but who else has returned and who has joined the cast? Where have you seen these actors before? Mystery solved!

Adeel Aktar as The Maharajar

British actor, Aktar is back as the Maharajar. He’s been in all manner of films and shows in the UK, and has a BAFTA as well as several more nominations. You might recognise him as Faisal from Four Lions, Lestrade in the Enola Holmes movies or from a whole raft of quality British shows include Utopia,...

Fragmented memories come together to present the multifaceted tragedy of a single deadly act in Robert-Jonathan Koeyers Oscar short-listed 16-minute animation.

He takes us on a ride through the stream of consciousness recollections of black 12-year-old Imani (Anka Ferris) as she recalls her 11-year-old friend Crimson's life and his untimely death. Koeyers takes us into Imani's mindscape where we see her interactions with Crimson - a nickname he acquired from his favourite 'C' emblazoned hoodie - intercut with shots of her staring at a camera, complete with static fizz that indicates this is a police recording. Small things take on significance - a nosebleed, auguring worse to come, a bike's handlebar, a bell.

A shop bell tinkles gently in another recollection, too, which paints a very different picture of events. David (Henry Brinkerhoff) is a rookie cop and a new dad, whose look screams of stress. He remembers Crimson too,...

It’s not exactly a spoiler to say that by minute 11 of the opening episode of “Riches,” there’s a power struggle. The new Prime Video drama series centers on the fortunes of Flair & Glory, a UK-based cosmetics company that prides itself on being one of the beauty industry’s premiere businesses, Black-owned or otherwise. Yet, when the man at the top of that pyramid falls, it’s up to the rest of the family to fill the void he left behind.

Put it off as long as you can, but it’s a near-impossibility to talk about “Riches” without addressing the similarities its premise shares with one of TV’s heaviest hitters. The center of the Venn diagram between “Riches” and “Succession” has things that aren’t necessarily proprietary to the latter. It’s hard to build drama around a fictional large company without at least one financial scandal...

Screen Rant is happy to present an exclusive new clip from the new Prime Video series, Riches. The six-episode season is a co-production between Amazon Studios and the UK's ITV network, and it was created and written by Abby Ajayi. This high-stakes drama of a family with wealth and privilege stars Deborah Ayorinde, Hugh Quarshie (Absentia), Sarah Niles, Adeyinka Akinrinade, Ola Orebiyi, Nneka Okoye, Emmanuel Imani, and Brendan Coyle (Downton Abbey). Riches is now streaming on Prime Video.

When the patriarch of the Richards family, Stephen (Quarshie), dies suddenly, his two estranged families are brought together for the reading of his will. The stakes are high, and one question is key in everyone's minds; Who will be given control of his company, Flair & Glory? When it's revealed that his long-estranged American children, Nina (Ayorinde) and Simon (Imani) will be given sole ownership, disinheriting his new British family, the stage is...
