Thank you, Chandra. ❤️❤️❤️ We know we have a great show and hope it will find a new home. But next time I need to throw down I know who to call.

Brown also posted about the news.
This business is mercurial. Our sweet show didn’t work for @bouncetv in some way, I guess.
But #ActYourAge will be streaming on @netflix soon. Those who missed our 16 eps can binge them there.
Now I’m off to find a job! Any sitcoms need a funny black chick who’s nice? https://t.co/Tg6aIIsCgG— yvette nicole brown (@YNB) November 13, 2023
The series, which lasted for 16 episodes, premiered this March and became “the most-watched half-hour series launch in Bounce history and the No. 3 new comedy of the season, alongside NBC’s Night Court and Lopez vs. Lopez,” according to BFTV. The series reached 2.14 million viewers in its debut.
The series followed along a formula that has been successful for other shows such as Girlfriends, Living Single and Harlem by following a group of friends as they negotiate the ups and downs of life. In Act Your Age, the group consists of three Washington D.C./Northern Virginia area women who are navigating their 50s.
