Watch The High-Octane Trailer For BET's New Edition Mini-Series
In between all of the purple praise oozing out from The BET Music Awards last night (BKA the three-hour Prince tribute we'd all been waiting for,) you may have caught a glimpse at something particularly gripping. Namely, the teaser for BET's New Edition biopic mini-series. The series will arrive in three parts, charting their ascent from unknown Boston upstart to r&b sensations, famously parting ways with founding member Bobby Brown along the way and spawning the resurgence of the boy band in the eighties, a title almost solely reserved for The Jackson 5 up until that point (or The Jacksons, as they were known by then.)
The series is produced by the member of New Edition, which could mean that we can count on it to uphold a strict standard of accuracy, or more likely, that some of the blows are softened to protect image and legacy. The New Edition Story will also feature the talents of Michael Rappaport, Wood Harris and La La Anthony amogst others, slated to arrive this year, at some point. And while no official premiere date has been announced just yet, the trailer is a must-watch for anyone that was alive and well during New Edition's reign. Watch the trailer for BET's The New Edition Story below and keep your eye on us for updates as they arrive.
