BET Network's THE QUAD Returns For Second Season 1/23  Image

BET's hit original series, "THE QUAD" SEASON 2, will premiere tomorrow, Tuesday, January 23rd at 10 pm ET/PT on BET.

The series follows ambitious yet troubled Dr. Eva Fletcher (Anika Noni Rose), the newly elected President of fictional Georgia A&M University, a prestigious historically black university (HBCU). She is charged with saving the university from bankruptcy and her twenty-year marriage from crumbling, all while managing a tumultuous relationship with her rebellious older daughter. A diverse group of freshman also promises to keep her hands full.

The weekly 1-hr series stars Tony Award winners Anika Noni Rose and Ruben Santiago-Hudson, as well as Antwan "Big Boi" Patton Sr. Peyton Alex Smith, Jazz Raycole, Zoe Renee, Jake Allyn, Michelle DeFraites and Sean Blakemore.

Season 2 Synopsis: It's Spring semester at Georgia A&M, where the school's survival as an independent, historically Black university hangs in a precarious balance as the driven Dr. Eva Fletcher (Rose) struggles to raise capital for the nearly bankrupt institution. If she fails, the school may be forced to join Georgia's large, public and predominantly White university system in order to keep its doors open. Students protest, allegiances are challenged and friendships are jeopardized as students, faculty and the administration struggle to define their place in the fight while our freshman class also deals with the stress of pledging, hazing, academic probation, post-traumatic stress, hate crime attacks and prescription drug abuse.
