The ladies of “A Black Lady Sketch Show” will be back on the screens in April! On Tuesday, HBO dropped the full trailer for the show’s upcoming third season, which will premiere on April 8.
The trailer for the Emmy-winning sketch comedy series features the familiar faces of series regulars Robin Thede, Gabrielle Dennis, Ashley Nicole Black and Skye Townsend, in various sketches including “The Funeral Ball” and a disastrous bachelorette party. The video also shows the return of Black’s invisible spy, Trinity, and Thede’s Dr. Hadassah Olayinka Ali-Youngman, Pre-PhD.
The six-episode season will also star over 40 celebrity guest stars, including Ava DuVernay, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Raven-Symoné, Wanda Sykes, David Alan Grier, Kyla Pratt, Jemele Hill, Holly Robinson Peete, Kel Mitchell, Michael Ealy, Wayne Brady, Bob the Drag Queen, Vanessa Williams, Lance Reddick, Loni Love, Cari Champion, Shangela, Trevor Jackson, Tommy Davidson, Jay Pharoah, Jidenna, and Essence Atkins.
The show’s debut season earned three Emmy nominations and featured a bevy of heavy-hitting guest stars, including the show’s executive producer Issa Rae, Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine, Aja Naomi King, Laverne Cox and Nicole Byer. Season 2 starred Thede, Black and Dennis, and welcomed Laci Mosley and Skye Townsend as new featured players. Mosley will not feature in season 3 but can be seen on the Paramount+ revival of iCarly alongside Miranda Cosgrove, Nathan Kress, Jerry Trainor and Jaidyn Triplett.
Black spoke with ET after the show was renewed for a third season, sharing that she’s excited to have even more opportunities to push the boundaries of what she can do as both a writer and a performer — something that was considered taboo just a few years ago.
