On the season finale, Angela believes Marcus is having an affair after she hears him talking about another woman in his sleep. Then, Joseph displays a bit of erratic behavior when he feels Leslie’s life is in danger.
“For Better Or Worse” centers around two of director Tyler Perry’s favorite characters from the big screen, Marcus and Angela. Marcus and Angela were first introduced to the world in Perry’s blockbuster hit feature films ‘Why Did I Get Married?’ and ‘Why Did I Get Married Too?’
“For Better Or Worse” is a new dramedy that will follow the tumultuous relationship of the lovesick couple. Tasha Smith and Michael Jai White are back to reprise their roles in the half-hour show. Michael plays Marcus, an ex football player turned sports commentator. Tasha Smith will also resume her role as Angela, the edgy and outspoken wife of Marcus, who is intent on giving him hell every step of the way. The show will also follow the lives of those who Marcus and Angela call their friends.
“‘For Better Or Worse ‘is groundbreaking television and is the biggest TV show that movie mogul Perry has ever produced. The sets, high fashion and the strikingly good-looking cast come together to create a truly sexy and provocative half-hour of television. Viewers will experience a fresh approach to the traditional sitcom format that will provide all the elements of well-crafted storytelling and the raw intrigue of reality TV.
“‘For Better Or Worse’ explores the controversial and joyous moments associated with marriage and dating in the 21st century. Like always, viewers will leave with life-changing messages that have become a trademark of the Perry brand of entertainment.”
Tune in for the season finale of “For Better or Worse” Dec. 11 9 p.m. EST, 8 p.m. CST on OWN.
Independent journalism still matters.
We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.
Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.
The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
