Taye Diggs Says ‘The Best Man’ May Become A TV Series
Actor Taye Diggs recently said that The Best Man may become a television series. It was during a special feature of CBS’s The Talk, that the actor and author made the exciting news for fans of The Best Man franchise, as The Jasmine Brand reports.
Diggs was asked if The Best Man 3 will come to fruition. “I do think it will happen. We’ve been in discussions with the director Malcolm Lee. I think it might end up being a TV series, maybe on a streaming platform,” Diggs said. “But the script has already been written, so we’ll see.”
Diggs then went on to say that he’s unsure of when production will kick-off for the possible series, and that he’s waiting on Malcolm Lee for the green light.
