"Following a breakout first season that quickly became a favorite among both fans and critics, BET Studios is excited to bring DIARRA FROM DETROIT back to BET+ for season two," said Aisha Summers Burke, Executive Vice-President, and General Manager, BET Studios. "Diarra's voice is bold, original, and unapologetically real — exactly the kind of storytelling that resonates deeply with our audience. This next chapter raises the stakes while keeping the same sharp wit and heart that made the series a standout."

"It has been incredible watching fans and critics embrace this show in the way that they have and we're so excited to be back for more," said Kenya Barris, executive producer. "Last season proved just how wildly talented Diarra Kilpatrick is and I, for one, can't wait for everyone to see what her and the team have in store this time around."

The series follows Diarra Brickland, a divorcing schoolteacher who refuses to believe she was ghosted by her rebound Tinder date. Her search for the missing man pulls her into a decades-old mystery involving the Detroit underworld. As the case unfolds, her co-workers, friends, and lovers become unlikely allies as she falls down a dangerous rabbit hole.
