A new season of Cherish the Day will debut on October 4.
Created and produced by Ava DuVernay, the new installment of this romantic anthology series follows the story of Ellis Moran and Sunday St. James – played by Henry Simmons and Joy Bryant, respectively – who are two past lovers that find their past romance rekindled in the beautiful city of New Orleans. The ARRAY Filmworks, Harpo Films and Warner Bros. Television-produced drama also stars Terri J. Vaughn as Anastasia, Ellis’ soon-to-be ex-wife, along with the legendary Richard Roundtree, who plays Mandeville “MV” St. James.
The first season of Cherish the Day starred Xosha Roquemore, Alano Miller, and the legendary Cicely Tyson, and ranked #1 in its time period across all of cable with Black women, households, and total viewers. The show’s intricate storyline and positive reception increased the anticipation level for the new season.
“The goal of Cherish the Day is to interrogate your own love relationships as you watch,” DuVernay said after the finale of season one. “And hopefully you discover more about yourself as you discover the characters.”
