“When I wrote The Best Man, it was out of a desire to see myself on screen,” said director Malcolm D. Lee in a press statement.

Lee said about returning to the franchise, “Given the moment that we are in, this is the perfect time to revisit Harper, Lance, Murch, Quentin, Jordan, Robyn, Candace, and Shelby and go on the wild, emotional, hilarious ride with them, as they deal with their own journeys through parenting, activism, old love, new love and the complexities of being Black in 21st Century America.”
