On Friday, June 15, 2019, the cast of the upcoming OWN TV show “Ambitions” attended the 23rd annual American Black Film Festival in Miami, Florida.

The OWN steamy new family saga “Ambitions” come from the record-breaking producer Will Packer (“Girls Trip”) and is set to premiere on Tuesday, June 18 at 10 p.m. ET/PT following Tyler Perry’s hit drama “The Haves and Have Nots” (9–10 p.m. ET/PT).

The cast and producers of Ambitions

The show is created by executive producer/writer Jamey Giddens and produced by Will Packer Media in association with Lionsgate and Lionsgate-owned distributor Debmar-Mercury, “Ambitions” stars a dynamic ensemble cast including Robin Givens (“Riverdale”), Brian White (“Scandal”), Kendrick Cross (“Acrimony”), Brely Evans (“Being Mary Jane”), Erica Page (“Ozark”) and Essence Atkins (“Marlon”).

The cast was available to meet with press and fans to talk about their characters what viewers can expect from the show. In fact, after speaking to producer Jamey Giddens talked about how his goal was to bring a soap opera back to television and it just so happened that producer Will Packer was looking to do a soap and the first character he created was “Evan Lancaster”, then his wife Stephanie Lancaster and how the two getting together was quite the beginning of something sinister and the drama begins. As Jamey Giddens stated at the end of our interview “The couple who schemes together stays together.”

With a description like that, the show is destined to be one many talk about around the waters cooler or nowadays on social media.
