Bounce Announces Return of ‘Johnson’ + New Series ‘Mind Your Business’

"Mind Your Business" Premieres Saturday, June 1st With Two Episodes.

Bounce TV’s 2024 original programming has been announced and includes the new comedy series, “Mind Your Business,” and the fourth-season premiere of the network’s hit dramedy, “Johnson,” on August 3rd.

Premiering Saturday, June 1st, with two episodes back-to-back starting at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT, “Mind Your Business” is a half-hour comedy that tells the story of the Williams family. The family owns an event space in Chicago and is in the business of helping others celebrate life’s biggest events. However, when it comes to the Williams family affairs, there’s a need for referees instead of DJs.

Like a lot of small businesses, Lucille Williams’ once-prospering 30s-and-older lounge, Lucille’s Place, took a huge hit, forcing her to sell. Lucille‘s baby brother, Henry Williams, couldn’t stand by and let Lucille’s Place slip away, so he recruited his fraternal twins, Aaliyah and Alfonso, to keep the business in the family. With Aaliyah‘s creative sensibilities and Alfonso‘s business mind, a safe space for planning and hosting events was born. Alfonso‘s wife, Kimberly, and son, Alfonso Jr. (A.J.), join the event planning team. Even Aaliyah has one of their chosen family members, Mia, join the team; she is a jack of all trades – so she thinks. Although the new-and-improved “Lucille’s” brings everyone together, their affairs end up causing a mess bigger than a college frat party.

The series stars Columbus Short as Alfonso; Drew Sidora as Aaliyah; singer and radio host Bebe Winans as Henry; Rolonda Watts from the internationally syndicated talk show “Rolonda” as Lucille; Caryn Ward Ross as Kimberly; Brely Evans as Mia; Bryce Xavier as A.J.; and Chloe Elise Ellis as Jordan, Alfonso and Kimberly’s youngest child. “Mind Your Business” is produced by Harvest Studios and executive produced by Bentley Kyle Evans.

In addition, Bounce has announced the summer return of its hit series “Johnson.” The popular dramedy focuses on four lifelong best friends, all of whom share the same last name. Season four will debut on Saturday, August 3rd, with two episodes back-to-back starting at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.

Shot on location in Atlanta, the series is a journey of love, self-discovery and brotherhood told from the Black male perspective but inclusive of all men. “Johnson” is produced in partnership with Eric C. Rhone and Cedric The Entertainer’s A Bird & A Bear Entertainment, Deji LaRay (the show’s creator) and Thomas Q. Jones’ Midnight Train Productions.

The ensemble cast is led by Thomas Q. Jones, LaRay, Philip Smithey and Derrex Brady with D.L. Hughley. LaRay and Jones serve as showrunners and executive producers; Rhone, Cedric The Entertainer and Reesha L. Archibald serve as executive producers.
