#’Soul Food’ Turns 20: Where the Series’ Stars Are Now

#’Soul Food’ Turns 20: Where the Series’ Stars Are Now

Soul Food Cast

When Soul Food premiered 20 years ago this month, TV dramas with predominantly Black casts weren’t just rare but nearly non-existent. Luckily, the multigenerational family drama—a continuation of the 1997 film of the same name—rang true with audiences and marked a critical and commercial hit for Showtime, paving the way for shows like Empire and Greenleaf.

“It was almost a no-brainer for [Soul Food] to be successful,” executive producer Kathleen McGhee-Anderson told The Washington Post in May 2004, when the show ended after four seasons and 74 episodes. “There is an unmet appetite for stories, well-told stories, about African Americans.”

In the last two decades, the cast has moved on to other projects—sometimes with other Soul Food alums! Check out the gallery below to get career updates for the show’s series regulars.
