BET’s hit drama Tyler Perry’s Sistas is officially back — and Season 9 is bringing the heat. Premiering Wednesday, July 16 at 9 PM ET/8 PM CT, the new season kicks off with a major emergency that threatens to shake the core of the beloved sister circle.
After eight seasons filled with unforgettable love stories, heartbreaks, messy breakups, and hard-earned growth, Sistas isn’t slowing down. This season, the ladies find themselves pushed to the edge — emotionally, romantically, and spiritually — as personal crises test their strength and the unbreakable bond they’ve built.
The premiere episode, titled “No Time To Wait,” wastes no time diving into high-stakes drama. A complication with Karen’s pregnancy sends the group into a panic, forcing everyone to drop their individual issues and rush to her side. Set against a city still recovering from a blackout, the episode is intense, emotional, and a signal that this season is coming with serious depth.
Series regulars KJ Smith, Mignon, Ebony Obsidian, Novi Brown, Crystal Renee Hayslett, Angela Beyince, Devale Ellis, Chido Nwokocha, Brian Jordan Jr., and Kevin A. Walton all return for Season 9. Joining the cast this season are new recurring faces Darone Okolie, Walnette Marie Santiago, and Sullivan Jones, who are sure to stir things up.
Season 9 of Sistas explores how far friendship can be pushed before it breaks. With life changing all around them, the women will have to rely on each other more than ever — but not everyone may be able to handle what’s coming.
The new season premieres July 16 with all-new episodes airing Wednesdays on BET.
