BET Launches New Digital Scripted Comedy TWO GROWN

BET Digital announces new award-winning smart comedy TWO GROWN. Created and written by Jourdan Guyton and Alana Johnson, the eight-episode series, peeks into the lives of two twenty-somethings pursuing their dreams and hilariously struggling with growing up in New York City. Loosely based on the lives of Alana and Jourdan, the series full of wit and charm follows them on their journey of self-discovery and reluctantly facing the realities of "adulting." TWO GROWN available NOW on YouTube, Facebook Watch and BET.com.

Alana plays a feisty Latina and an aspiring singer who steadfastly believes the rules do not apply to her. Whereas Jourdan, who plays an actor, is the more reserved and responsible of the two. However, Jourdan often finds herself lured into situations by Alana that she usually would not find herself in on her own. And just when they think their lives are about to change, reality strikes and is back to the drawing board.
