BET brings viewers the ups and downs of real life drama, while invigorating the spirit and inspiring viewers to reinvent themselves.

From Salim and Mara Brock Akil (producing duo behind BET’s “Being Mary Jane,” “Sparkle” and the hit shows “The Game” and “Girlfriends”) comes “BACK TO ME WITH JEANETTE JENKINS.” Featuring trainer-to-the-stars, Jeanette Jenkins, the show follows Jenkins as rappers‘ careers. MC Lyte, The Lady of Rage, Yo Yo, Smooth, Monie Love, and Lil Mama join forces and declare themselves – The Hip Hop Sisters. Their goal is to reclaim their titles as The Queens of Hip Hop – as they manage their drama-filled personal careers and lives and search for the next great female MC. MC Lyte joins Lemmuel Plummer (Vindicated, The Sheards) as Executive Producer.

INTERNAL AFFAIRS chronicles the fascinating true-crime stories of internal affairs officers. It presents a series of stunning human dramas as officers face the most daunting personal challenges of their lives. Investigating officers can find themselves ostracized and shunned by their peers.

It’s these emotional human elements combined with high-stakes criminal investigations that makes Internal Affairs unique, compelling and provocative.
