The Upshaws Plot and Cast
The series revolves around the lives of the Upshaw family, a black family trying to make it in the community. Their humble way of living is what makes them relatable to the audience. Bennie, the husband, is a mechanic, while Regina is a nurse. Jr is their firstborn, followed by Aliah and Maya. Kevin is Bennie’s son, whom he fathered with his ex-girlfriend.
The Other family member is Lucretia, who is not Bennie’s favourite but he tolerates her because the children love her, which she reciprocates. Bennie steals Regina’s money, which makes her doubt if he ever cared. When a little girl finally comes out to claim Bennie is the father, things take an exciting turn.
We can expect Reginna and Benjie to reprise their roles. Mike Epps, famous for “Resident Evil” and “BlackAF,” plays Bennie, the husband of Kim Fields (Regina). Together, they have four children – Jermelle Simon as Bernard Upshaw, Khali Spraggins as Aaliyah Upshaw, Diamond Lyons as Kelvin Upshaw, and Journey Christine as Maya Upshaw.
Regina Y. Hicks plays the role of Lucretia, Benjie’s sister-in-law who has quite a strained relationship with Bennie. Other casts are Michl Estime as tony, Gabrielle Dennis as Tasha, and Page Kennedy as Duck. We should also expect the sitcom to feature new casts.
