VIDEO: First Look - R. Kelly's TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET, Premiering on IFC Today

The wait is over! R&B icon and multi-platinum recording artist R. Kelly returns to IFC with brand-new chapters of his bold hip-hopera, TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET, premiering Friday, November 23 at 9:00pm ET/PT only on IFC. BWW brings you a first look below!

Get caught up on previous chapters of this cultural phenomenon with marathons starting Thanksgiving Day at 10:00am ET/PT.

The new chapters bring more suspense, mystery and drama - plus lots of unexpected twists. Hopping aboard for this next installment are two new faces, both played by R. Kelly: Dr. Perry, a therapist at Rufus and Cathy's church guiding them through marriage counseling; and Beeno, a powerful underworld kingpin.

Launching today, IFC.com will host all previous Trapped in the Closet chapters online at http://www.ifc.com/trapped, along with in-depth character profiles and in the coming weeks, behind-the-scenes footage. After the on-air premiere, IFC.com will feature one new chapter each day online.
