R&B Superstar Lets Her Life Do the Singing Once Again in 'Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is 2' on BET This Fall
Top-Rated Reality Series Returns With Six New Episodes
LOS ANGELES, July 16 -- If you didn't get enough of
Keyshia Cole and the way it was last year on her hit BET docu-drama reality
series, your hunger will be more than satisfied when BET cameras once again
track her drama-filled life in Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is 2, starting in
October.
The first season of the top-rated Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is gave
viewers insight into what it took for Keyshia to rise up from her troubled
past as the daughter of a drug addict growing up in Oakland, Calif., to
become a critically acclaimed, platinum-selling R&B superstar.
Produced by BET and DuBose Entertainment, Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is 2
promises to be even more compelling and intriguing than its inaugural
season. The six-episode season 2 will focus on Keyshia's continued growth
and evolution, as well as her efforts to rebuild her strained relationship
with her mother and a search to find her supposedly dead father. It's
riveting, poignant and entertaining - just like Keyshia.
"Last year we witnessed so many incredible moments in Keyshia's life,
and the season was truly compelling - especially the last episode between
Keyshia and her mom," said Reginald Hudlin, President of Entertainment,
BET. "I couldn't wait to bring the series back, so our audiences could once
again enjoy this honest and exclusive storytelling."
"This season is a must-see," says James DuBose, Executive Producer. "In
terms of real life, this is an inspirational story-young or old, black or
white, it doesn't matter. Everyone will be inspired by the strength and
fortitude of Keyshia Cole."
