Say it ain’t so…
After four seasons, it’s been announced that BET’s hit show “Being Mary Jane” starring Gabrielle Union will end its run in 2018. The show takes us into the private and professional life of journalist Mary Jane Paul (played by Union).
“Being Mary Jane has been a landmark series not only for BET, but for African American women around the world who saw themselves in Mary Jane, her family, friends and coworkers,” said Connie Orlando, head of programming for BET Networks. “We are grateful to the cast and creators of Being Mary Jane, who have worked tirelessly to bring this world to vivid life over the past 4 seasons. “
According to Variety, the show will end with a two-hour movie that will air on BET. There is no official release date, but we will keep you updated.
“We look forward to closing out Mary Jane’s journey with a series finale that is sure to blow fans away!” continued Orlando.
Once the news got out, Union took to Instagram thanking her fans for tuning into Being Mary Jane. “Mary Jane has become my favorite character,” wrote Union on Instagram. “We’ve screwed up together, laughed together, evolved together, and raised hell together. I love all her imperfections, and through playing her I became more forgiving of others who are imperfect and on the journey of self discovery and improvement.”
