THE MS. PAT SHOW

Created by Jordan E. Cooper and Patricia “Ms. Pat” Williams, “The Ms. Pat Show” is an American television sitcom based on the comedy and life story of comedienne Ms. Pat as a convicted felon from the streets of Atlanta turned reluctant suburban mother, the first season of which premieres Thursday, August 12, 2021, on BET+.

WHAT IS “THE MS. PAT SHOW”?

Based on her stand-up comedy and memoir, the show follows a former convicted felon turned suburban mom and stand-up comedian whose resilient spirit was forged on the streets of Atlanta. When her penny-pinching husband’s (J. Bernard Calloway) job results in the family moving away from their home, Ms. Pat finds herself smack dab in conservative middle America.

Now, Ms. Pat has to deal with her new neighbors, her sister (Tami Roman), and two distinct sets of kids played by Theodore Barnes (The Prince of Peoria), newcomer Briyana Guadalupe and Vince Swann (50 Central), raised under very different circumstances.

“We are thrilled to welcome powerhouse creators Lee Daniels, Brian Grazer, and writing phenom Jordan E. Cooper home to the BET family,” said Traci Blackwell, executive vice president of scripted programming for BET. “We look forward to bringing Ms. Pat’s story to life on BET+ and offer viewers more premium content that reflects and celebrates the spectrum of the Black experience and tons of laughs.”

“I have always been drawn to stories that celebrate universal human themes of family and love Ms. Pat is an authentic, truthful voice that reflects what’s going on in our culture and how it relates to family,” Grazer said. “Because of her fierce authenticity, fans already love her humor and irreverence. She and Jordan E. Cooper have created this family comedy that will reach even more of the world – and we all desperately need to laugh. I am excited to be working again with Lee Daniels and BET+ to bring Ms. Pat’s story to life – showcasing her powerful tale of survival, as she finds humor and love in all things life.”
