The follow-up to Bid for Love has officially transformed into a full-fledged series titled Surviving Sasha, which will premiere exclusively on Tubi on Tuesday, April 21.
Originally developed as Bid for Love 2, the project has expanded into a multi-episode arc centered on Sasha (Dawn Halfkenny), a reformed inmate trying to rebuild her life while balancing therapy, a new relationship with Detective Carter (Jermel Howard), and the shocking return of her presumed-dead ex, Memphis (Blue Kimble).
Directed by Arthur Muhammad, the series brings together a stacked ensemble that blends returning favorites with major new additions. New cast members include Clifton Powell (Haywood), Eva Marcille (Linda), Cynthia Bailey (Dr. Parker Bailey), Darrin Dewitt Henson (Mr. Neely), Erica Peeples (Detective Worthing), Angela White (fka Blac Chyna) as Alexis, David Banner as Aadam Baraka, DreamDoll as Princess, and Stephen Cofield.
They join returning cast members Dawn Halfkenny, Blue Kimble, Nikki Dixon (Jewel), Adrian Lockett (Malik), Ptosha Storey, Mia Hunt (Shaunda Jenkins), Kwaylon Rogers, and Jayda Cheaves.
Executive produced by Lawainna Patterson and Sisters for Freedom, alongside Shauna D. Balfour, London Williams, and Jermel Howard, the series continues Tubi’s growing push into serialized, Black-led thriller storytelling with heightened drama, romance, and psychological tension at its core.
What began as a film sequel has now evolved into a broader streaming series experience—positioning Surviving Sasha as one of Tubi’s latest original drama expansions.
