The sister circle isn’t breaking up anytime soon. Sistas, Tyler Perry’s wildly popular BET drama, is officially returning for Season 10, and fans won’t have to endure a long wait to see what happens next; with Season 9 ending on explosive cliffhangers, BET’s early renewal signals full confidence in the series and its ever-growing audience.
Here’s a complete look at the Sistas Season 10 release date, what the new season promises, and why the show continues to dominate cable television.
Sistas Season 10 Release Date Confirmed
BET has confirmed that Sistas Season 10 will premiere on January 7 at 9 p.m. ET, with brand-new episodes airing every Wednesday night on the network. The renewal was announced before the Season 9 finale even aired, a clear sign that the series remains one of BET’s strongest performers.
For viewers who prefer consistency, the release schedule remains the same: weekly episodes that continue the emotional rollercoaster with no major breaks.
Why BET Renewed Sistas So Early
Renewing Sistas ahead of a season finale is no small move, but the numbers back it up, the show is on track to finish the year as the No. 1 scripted cable series among Black adults ages 18–49 for the fifth year in a row. It has also ranked as the top cable series among all Black viewers for the third consecutive year.
While BET is still waiting on complete year-end Nielsen data before making an official victory announcement, live and same-day ratings through early October already paint a clear picture: Sistas continues to outperform nearly every competitor in its category.
Simply put, the audience isn’t going anywhere, and neither is the show.
What Sistas Is All About
Created, written, directed, and produced by Tyler Perry, Sistas is a one-hour dramedy centred on a close-knit group of single Black women navigating love, ambition, heartbreak, and friendship in Atlanta.
At its core, the series explores modern dating in your 30s, where social media complicates relationships, expectations are sky-high, and emotional baggage is unavoidable. The women juggle careers, romantic misfires, betrayals, and loyalty to one another, often learning the hard way that growth rarely comes without pain.
Season after season, Sistas has resonated because it doesn’t pretend adulthood is neat or predictable and Season 10 looks ready to lean into that chaos even more.
Returning Cast for Season 10
Season 10 will bring back the familiar faces fans have grown deeply invested in, the ensemble cast includes:
- KJ Smith

In addition, several characters who played key roles in Season 9 are expected to remain part of the story, including Darone Okolie, Walnette Marie Santiago, and Sullivan Jones, who appeared in recurring roles last season.
What to Expect in Season 10
While BET hasn’t released an official storyline breakdown yet, Season 9’s ending makes one thing clear: Season 10 will pick up amid chaos.
Unresolved conflicts, shocking exits, and life-threatening moments left fans with more questions than answers. The next chapter is expected to address the aftermath; who survives, who leaves, and whether the sister circle can continue to exist in the same way moving forward.
Why Sistas Still Dominates TV
Few scripted series manage to maintain momentum nine seasons in, but Sistas has done exactly that. Its success lies in its relatability, bold storytelling choices, and willingness to embrace messy, uncomfortable realities.
The show speaks directly to viewers who see themselves in these characters: flawed, hopeful, stubborn, and resilient, that connection has helped Sistas remain a staple of Wednesday-night television and a cultural talking point week after week.
The Bottom Line
Sistas Season 10 officially premieres January 7 at 9 p.m. on BET, with weekly episodes airing every Wednesday. Backed by strong ratings, an early renewal, and a loyal fanbase, the series shows no signs of slowing down.
