Preston Whitmore’s climatic 2017 crime drama, True To The Game, gets a sequel now pending a Spring 2020 release from Imani Media Group.
From A Manny Halley Production, True To The Game 2 follows suit with a story inspired by Teri Woods’s best-selling novel. Jamal Hill directs from a script by Whitmore which sees a cast of new and returning faces, featuring Erica Peeples alongside actor Andra Fuller and actress Vivica A. Fox.
TRUE TO THE GAME 2 picks up a year after the murder of drug dealer Quadir Richards, whose death carries consequences for all who knew him — especially Gena (Peeples), his love interest. Separating herself from Philly’s dangerous scene, Gena has reinvented herself as a journalist, living and working in New York City. Forced to take some time off of work, Gena is sent on assignment to Los Angeles for a career-changing story.
Though Gena is far from home, her life in Philly seems to always make an appearance. Someone from Quadir’s circle has avenged his death with a hit on Jerrell’s crew members, reigniting another war between the two crews. Jerell (Fuller) is determined to get paid by any means necessary— and he’ll start with Gena.
Niatia “Lil Mama” Kirkland, Iyana Halley and Jeremy Meeks (yup, THAT Jeremy Meeks!) also star along with Rotimi, Tamar Braxton, Faith Evans, Waka Flocka, Bre-Z, Bernice Burgos, Juliet “Juju” Cee, London on Da Track and Paul Saucido.
“We really pulled out all the stops for the sequel,” says Manny Halley, TTTG2 producer and founder of Imani Media Group. ‘True to the Game’ is an iconic story within the urban literary genre, so we had to get every detail right — from the cast to the cars. Fans will still be able to connect with the characters they met in the original film, while enjoying the plot twists that make this movie one hell of a ride!”
