Returning cast members include Bryan Terrell Clark, DomiNque Perry, Shannon Wallace and Jon Chaffin. Harlem star Shoniqua Shandai and Dave Z Martin (English Teacher, The Good Daughter) are joining the sophomore season.

Diarra From Detroit debuted to strong acclaim when it debuted in March 2024, ranking as the No. 1 new cable series among Black viewers year-to-date and second overall among scripted cable shows with Black audiences 18–49 — trailing only BET’s Tyler Perry’s Sistas, according to Nielsen.

Season 1 followed Diarra, a divorcing schoolteacher who refuses to believe she’s been ghosted by her rebound Tinder date. Her determined search leads her into a decades-old mystery rooted in Detroit’s underworld, pulling her friends, co-workers, and lovers into the chaos.

In Season 2, Shandai will play Raqueeba, Diarra’s sharp-tongued and opinionated cousin, while Martin will portray Booker, a street-smart criminal whose path crosses with Diarra’s in unexpected ways.

Produced by BET Studios and Khalabo Ink Society, Diarra From Detroit is executive produced by Diarra Kilpatrick, Kenya Barris, and Miles Orion Feldsott.
