Meet The ‘Family Reunion’ Cast Before Netflix Series Premiere
Get ready for an all-new Netflix sitcom because Season 1 of “Family Reunion,” starring Tia Mowry and Loretta Devine, premieres on the streaming platform on Wednesday.
“When the McKellan family moves from Seattle to Georgia to be closer to extended family, the transition is like being a catfish out of water,” the synopsis shares of the Meg DeLoatch-created series. “From three-hour church services and huge humidity hair to M’Dear’s home cooking and family bonding, the everyday ups and downs of ‘Family Reunion’ are real, memorable, toe tapping, heart stopping, laugh out loud authentic moments.”
The Netflix show doesn’t release until Wednesday, but you can get to know the “Family Reunion” cast right now:
Tia Mowry (Cocoa McKellan)
Best known for her ’90s sitcom “Sister, Sister,” which she worked on with her twin sister Tamera Mowry, Tia also starred opposite her sister in movies like “Seventeen Again,” “Twitches” and “Double Wedding.” Back in the world of TV, Tia also starred on “The Game” and “Instant Mom.”
Loretta Devine (M’Dear)
After voicing the character of Muriel Stubbs on the animated Fox and WB series “The PJs,” Devine went on to star on Fox’s workplace comedy “Boston Public” for four seasons. She also played Patti Dellacroix on “Eli Stone,” Aunt Honey on the short-lived ABC Family series “State of Georgia,” Adele Webber on “Grey’s Anatomy,” Georgia Cummings on “The Client List,” Cynthia Carmichael on “The Carmichael Show” and more.
Anthony Alabi (Moz McKellan, Cocoa’s husband)
After a few years of guest-starring on shows like “How to Rock,” “Big time Rush,” “The Haunted Hathaways,” “Modern Family” and “Insecure,” Alabi landed a recurring gig in 2017 as Coach Spitz on Disney Channel’s “That’s So Raven” sequel series, “Raven’s Home,” and he still holds the role.
Talia Jackson (Jade McKellan)
Viewers might’ve seen Jackson just last year when she was on the “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff, “Station 19,” as Zoe in the episode “Lost and Found.”
Isaiah Russell-Bailey (Shaka McKellan)
After stepping on the scene last year with his first onscreen role — Young Kevon Winters in an episode of “Criminal Minds” — Russell-Bailey then went on to have guest roles on shows like “S.W.A.T.” and “Raven’s Home.” He was also in a Christmas flick last year called “Throwback Holiday.”
Cameron J. Wright (Mazzi McKellan)
This is Wright’s first series regular role. He’s also set to take on the role of Young Schnipper in the upcoming Netflix teen film, “Tall Girl.”
Jordyn Raya James (Ami McKellan)
Prior to “Family Reunion,” James played MiMi in an episode of the Facebook show “Five Points” and Ella Belfast in an episode of Amazon’s Julia Roberts-starring series, “Homecoming.”
Season 1 of “Family Reunion” begins streaming on Netflix on Wednesday (July 10).
