The highly-anticipated reunion show for the popular 90s sitcom now has an official air date. The show's original main cast (Lawrence, Tichina Arnold, Tisha Campbell and Carl Anthony Payne) will be featured on the special event set for June 16, for a highly-anticipated reunion special airing on BET.
“The cast will look back on the show’s most hilarious moments, revisit the iconic characters Martin made famous and pay an emotional tribute to the late, great Tommy Ford,” said the BET streamer in a press release. “Complete with musical performances and drop-ins by celebrity super fans, ‘Martin: The Reunion’ brings back the wazzup wazzup wazzup passion fans have been waiting for.”
Martin aired on FOX from 1992 til 1997, and remains a touchstone sitcom for fans of 1990s television. The show also starred the late Thomas Ford, who played Martin's best friend Tommy. Ford died in 2016 from a ruptured abdominal aneurysm. According to Variety, the 90-minute reunion show will be hosted by Affion Crockett, as the cast gather on the iconic Martin living room set to reminisce about the show’s run.
“To be able to sit here 30 years later with this amazing cast that has had such an impact on pop culture is truly a blessing,” said Lawrence when the news of a reunion first hit the streets in Feb. "I am always humbled that fans still want more of the show and its characters. I am looking forward to the reunion special.”
