“I’m so proud of these young actors and the heart, depth and modern reality that they bring to this series,” Berry says of the show’s cast. “They are truly ambassadors of our culture and their generation.”
“Making Boomerang has been one of the highlights of my career and the positive feedback we’ve gotten from fans and critics has been so validating,” Waite adds. “I’m beyond excited to dive even deeper into these characters’ lives in season two.”
The season finale of American Soul airs at 9 p.m. ET/PT tonight before Boomerang and features Gabrielle Dennis as Tina Turner.
