Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Tracee Ellis Ross Headed to BET

The pair will star in scripted family series "Reed Between The Lines."

Two of television's favorite sitcom stars are headed back to primetime this fall.
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, best known as The Cosby Show’s Theo Huxtable, and Tracee Ellis Ross, the small screen’s Joan Clayton on Girlfriends, will be teaming up to play husband and wife on BET’s new family comedy, Reed Between The Lines.
The NY-based sitcom will feature Ross as Dr. Carla Reed, a busy psychiatrist wife and mother juggling a career and hectic home life. Warner plays her New York University English professor spouse Alex. The dynamic duo have a blended family of three children comprised of Carla's fraternal twins from her first marriage and a daughter from their current union.

"It's surreal that I'm the dad this time," Warner told the audience at the LA Upfronts on Tuesday. "I hope to recreate the same kind of timelessness we had on Cosby so that in 25 years this show will be as relevant."
