PATH received an early notice that BET is set to premiere it’s first reality show centered around Gospel artists. Karen Clark-Sheard’s family is currently shooting a reality show tentatively titled “The Sheards.”
Word has it that former Sunday Best hosts Mary Mary sent BET scrambling for their own reality show, after Mary Mary decided to bring their show to WE TV.
The show will include Gospel superstar Karen Clark-Sheard, 51, and her children. Rising Gospel star Kierra Sheard, 25, and son, producer and aspiring R&B singer J. Drew Sheard. It’s not known whether Karen’s husband Pastor John Drew Sheard will be in the reality show. It’s also unclear whether Karen’s sisters (The Clark Sisters) will make an appearance.
DaGospelTruth.com broke the story after hearing for sometime that the network was planning a faith-based reality show.
Karen is one of the four sisters that make up the legendary singing group the ‘Clark Sisters,’ that includes Dorinda Clark-Cole, Twinkie Clark and Jackie Clark. Many artists look up to The Clark Sisters, and they’re recognized as one of the best-selling Gospel groups of all time.
With this news, it has confirmed what we expected after Mary Mary broke the ice. Gospel artists have the reality bug. We’ve confirmed that Mary Mary is coming back for season two of their show, while Marvin Sapp and Kim Burrell are taping reality shows as well.
