‘Our Kinds of People’ Sneak Peek: Premiere Episode (Photos)

FOX’s new show “Our Kind of People” premieres tonight after “The Resident.” The new series stars Yaya DeCosta, Morris Chestnut, and Debbi Morgan.

Inspired by Lawrence Otis Graham’s provocative, critically acclaimed book, “Our Kind of People: Inside America’s Black Upper Class,” Our Kind of People takes place in the aspirational world of Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard, a historical stronghold where the rich and powerful Black elite have come to play for over 50 years. From writer and executive producer Karin Gist (“Star,” “Grey’s Anatomy”) and executive producer Lee Daniels (“Empire,” “The United States Vs. Billie Holiday”), “Our Kind of People,” follows a strong-willed, single mom as she sets out to reclaim her family’s name and make an impact with her revolutionary haircare line that highlights the innate, natural beauty of Black women.

Check out some photos from the premiere episode below.
