BET has revealed the category placements for two of its freshman shows, American Soul and Boomerang, for the 2019 Emmy Awards.
American Soul chronicles the rise of the iconic and history-making television dance show Soul Train and is executive produced by Tony Cornelius, son of the Soul Train producer Don Cornelius.
Boomerang, produced by Emmy winner Lena Waithe (the first and still only African American woman to win a writing Emmy) and Halle Berry (the first and only black woman to win the Best Actress Oscar) is a subversive, smart comedy about gender politics that picks up 25 years after the original movie that starred Eddie Murphy and Robin Givens.
Here are the category placements for American Soul and Boomerang.
