In the first soap opera since “Generations” to feature a predominantly African-American cast, Tamara Tunie plays the matriarch of a family living in a gated community just outside Washington.

The history-making series is the first one-hour, day-time drama to feature a predominantly Black and multicultural cast. The new soap opera follows the successful and influential Dupree family. Natasha Brown talked with stars Tamara Tunie and Daphnee Duplaix about the show.
