Harlem, created by writer Tracy Oliver, is a comedic series centered around four inseparable best friends navigating life in the vibrant heart of New York City’s Harlem, a bastion of Black culture in America. Meagan Good, who stars as the show’s lead, Camille, is set to return this season alongside Grace Byers who plays Quinn, Shoniqua Shandai who stars as Angie, Jerrie Johnson (Tye), and heartthrob Tyler Lepley (Ian).

Last season Camille struggled to pick up the pieces after a career explosion and romantic upheaval. Tye was yearning for genuine connections amid a bitter divorce. Quinn embarked on a quest for equilibrium amid life’s tumultuous twists and turns, while Angie sought her fortune at every opportunity, striving to carve out her niche in the world. Together, these women continued to ascend as they navigated the challenges of advancing their careers, nurturing relationships, and pursuing their grand aspirations.
According to a press release, Season 3 will capture Camille and her besties, Shonique, Tye, and Quinn, “leveling up” as they try to navigate the bustling streets of Harlem.
“Tracy Oliver has built an alluring world full of style, humor, and dazzling characters, plus exceptional performances by this talented cast,” Erin Underhill, President of Universal Television, said in a statement. “We’re delighted audiences are as enamored with Harlem as we are, and we can’t wait for them to experience this hilarious and memorable new season.”
There’s no word quite yet on when Season 3 of Harlem will debut on Amazon’s streaming platform Prime Video, but we can’t wait to tune in when it does hit the site. The show has been a huge success since its debut in 2021. In January, following the end of Season 2, Harlem received four NAACP Image Award nominations including one for Outstanding Comedy Series and one nod for Outstanding Actress in honor of Good’s portrayal of Camille.
