Adulting is hard, at any age. So when three successful ladies in their fifties have a chance to bunk up and tackle life together, they jump at the chance. And hijinks? Oh, it ensues. Starring Kym Whitley, Tisha Campbell, and Yvette Nicole Brown, the sitcom Act Your Age was created by Alyson Fouse (Big Shot, ’Til Death) and originally premiered on Bounce TV in 2023.
Yvette Nicole Brown and Tisha Campbell
Keisha (Campbell), a divorcée from Miami, and Angela (Brown), a recent widower from Norfolk, Virginia, are visiting their best friend Bernadette (Whitley), who’s just been awarded the key to the city. To be clear: Keisha and Bernadette are besties, and so are Angela and Bernadette — but Keisha and Angela? They’re a little bit cool on each other. In the spirit of celebrating Bernadette, however, they put their differences aside and show up with bells on. Except Bernadette was lying to get them both in town. She’s actually eloping! To … a guy the other two have never met.
Angela is desperate to tell Bernadette that it’s a bad idea — he’s not right for her. Meanwhile, Bernie is determined to tell Angela she slept with Angela’s late husband, Davis, the former mayor of Norfolk. And Keisha’s intent on neither of those things happening. So the trio go out for an impromptu bachelorette hang, and things get more than a little bit messy. So messy, in fact, that they all end up roomies in Bernie’s penthouse. And from there on out, it’s game on for these fiftysomethings living their best lives.

No, it’s not based on a book.
It takes place in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
