‘Can’t Wait to Watch!’: Fans React to First Look at Bobby Brown’s New Reality Show 

The trailer for the new A&E original series “Bobby Brown: Every Little Step” just released, and fans appear to be more eager than ever to see a new side of legendary singer-songwriter and dancer Bobby Brown.

“After facing immense tragedy and adversity in the public eye, the Browns are ready to invite fans into their world as they embark on a new chapter of life,” the description said of the upcoming 12-episode docuseries.

The show will feature Brown’s wife and manager, Alicia Etheredge, and their children, 12-year-old Cassius, 6-year-old Bodhi Jameson Rein, 5-year-old Hendrix Estelle Sheba, and the Grammy winner’s 35-year-old son, entrepreneur Landon Brown, whom the star shares with former girlfriend and media personality Melika Williams. 

In the nearly minute-and-a-half teaser posted to the 53-year’s Instagram page on Wednesday, April 21, just one month ahead of the new show’s debut, fans got a glimpse into the new life of the “My Prerogative” singer, which included tour shows, family vacations, and the wedding of his daughter La’Princia Brown, whom he shares with Kim Ward. 

As previously reported, the former couple lost their son Bobby Brown Jr. when he passed away suddenly on Nov. 18, 2020. The 28-year-old took after his father with his love for entertainment. 

Fans expressed interest when news first broke of Brown’s return to television. However, since the teaser was released, they appear to be more eager than ever, with many taking to the comment sections of the entertainer’s post to show support, including one Instagram user who wrote, “Can’t wait to watch! So happy to see positive black families that triumph through adversity!”

A fellow Bostonian wrote, “I’m sure you know it already but if not, your journey inspires the youngins in the Bean every single day my brother. You’re one of the realest human beings breathing on this planet and I’m just happy to see you shining, happy and loving life.” They added, “Salute and continued blessings to the undisputed of Boston King Bobby Brown!”

“This!!” commented a third person. “We love you, Bobby!! What a life you’ve lived; many lifetimes rolled into one.”

The reality show comes on the heels of Brown’s two-part documentary, “Biography: Bobby Brown,” which also aired on A&E’s platforms. “Bobby Brown: Every Little Step” airs Tuesday, May 31, on A&E at 10 p.m.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
