Essence Atkins and Tetona Jackson also star in the series.
In an interview with Blavity’s Shadow and Act at the top of the season, Damon Jr. said of the show, “I think it came down to just what we needed, [and] what my dad and I felt was fun to do together, so we decided to do this show that is loosely based off of our lives, off people that we know, and our own relationship. I really hope that people relate to it, because we have a lot of storylines that are unique to us, but I feel they’re also relatable to the world [and] to families, specifically Black families. I’m excited for people to go on this journey.”
When will the last episode of ‘Poppa’s House’ air?
The series will end on April 28 with the Season 1 finale, which will now double as the series finale.
