The BET+ comedy series “First Wives Club,” inspired by the iconic 1996 film, has captivated audiences with its relatable and humorous take on modern romance and friendship. The show revolves around three female friends who find solace and support in each other following the end of their marriages. This heartwarming narrative has resonated with many, making the series a staple for viewers seeking both laughter and emotional depth.
A Cliffhanger Finale and Future Uncertainty
As the third season concluded in December 2022, fans were left wondering about the fate of their beloved series. The season ended on a note of uncertainty, leaving open the possibility of a new chapter. Despite consistent viewership, as reported by Show Buzz Daily, the series hasn’t achieved the blockbuster numbers that typically guarantee a show’s continuation. This has led to speculation and eagerness among fans for news about a potential fourth season.
Director’s Hopeful Stance on Season 4
Recently, Shea Williams Vanderpoort, the series director, stirred up excitement among the show’s followers. Responding to a fan’s plea for more seasons on her personal X account (formerly known as Twitter), Vanderpoort’s simple “agreed” sparked discussions and hopes. This response has shifted attention to BET, with fans eagerly awaiting an official announcement about the show’s renewal.

Timing and Tradition: A Look at Past Renewals
Historically, “First Wives Club” renewals have followed a pattern, typically announced a few months post-season finales. For instance, the second season was announced two months after the first season’s conclusion in 2019, and the third season confirmation followed three months after the second season ended in 2021. However, the unusual delay in the Season 4 announcement, especially following the early conclusion of Season 3, has left many questioning the show’s future.
