The Family Business follows the Duncans, an upstanding, tightknit family that, by day, owns and operates an exotic car dealership in New York. By night, their business activities are more illicit in nature.
Returning for Season 3 are series stars Ernie Hudson, Valarie Pettiford, Darrin DeWitt Henson, Javicia Leslie, Sean Ringgold, Tami Roman, Miguel A. Nunez, Arrington Foster, KJ Smith, Dylan Weber, Yadi Valerio and Emilio Rivera.
Season 2 picked up with The Duncans setting in motion a plan to expand business operations with their proprietary drug “heat.” As their plans gain momentum and they solidify their position in the game, rival factions look for opportunities to stunt their success and force a hostile takeover. The second half of Season 2 returns on December 31.
