Fox Orders OUR KIND OF PEOPLE to Series

Fox has ordered the new drama series OUR KIND OF PEOPLE to series.

Inspired by Lawrence Otis Graham’s acclaimed book, “Our Kind of People: Inside America’s Black Upper Class,” the series “takes place in the aspirational world of Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard, a historical stronghold where the rich and powerful black elite have come to play for over 50 years. OUR KIND OF PEOPLE follows strong-willed, single mom Angela Vaughn as she sets out to reclaim her family’s name and make an impact with her revolutionary haircare line that highlights the innate, natural beauty of black women. But she soon discovers a dark secret about her mother’s past that will turn her world upside-down and shake up this community forever.”

OUR KIND OF PEOPLE is from Karin Gist, with Lee Daniels also serving as an executive producer.

“OUR KIND OF PEOPLE is a soapy, thrilling exploration of race and class in America and an unapologetic celebration of black resilience and achievement – all daringly told by a team we’ve been eager to get back in business with,” said Michael Thorn, President of Entertainment, for FOX Entertainment, in a statement. “There are no better storytellers than Karin Gist and Lee Daniels to bring Lawrence Otis Graham’s seminal work to life.”

The series is set to debut in the 2021-22 season.
