The beloved Braxton family is gearing up for a poignant return to television in the wake of a significant loss.
After the passing of actress and singer Traci Braxton in 2022 due to cancer at the age of 50, the upcoming series ‘The Braxtons’ offers viewers an intimate glimpse into how the family is navigating grief and life’s challenges.
“We’ve dealt with a lot,” shared Evelyn Braxton, the family matriarch, in a recently released trailer.
Known for their long-running show ‘Braxton Family Values’ spanning seven seasons, the Braxtons have captured the hearts of audiences with their candid portrayal of family dynamics.
Traci’s absence looms large in the new series, prompting heartfelt reflections from her sisters.
“We have a missing piece,” expressed Towanda Braxton in the trailer. “It’s never going to be the same without her.”
The eight-episode series not only addresses the family’s journey through grief but also chronicles individual struggles. Toni Braxton faces a critical health challenge as she prepares for a comeback in Las Vegas, while Trina begins therapy for PTSD.
Towanda battles alopecia, Tamar focuses on her wellness journey, and their mother, Ms. E, pursues her dream of a cooking show.
The official synopsis promises a deeper exploration of the Braxton family’s lives, touching on unresolved issues and the complexities of their reunion.
“We have seen them at their highest and lowest points, and now we will witness their resilience in the face of adversity,” the synopsis reads.
‘The Braxtons’ is set to premiere on WE TV on August 9 at 9:30 p.m. EDT, with recaps of ‘Braxton Family Values’ airing on July 26 and August 2 at the same time. The series aims to offer viewers unprecedented access to the emotional journey of this iconic family, highlighting their strength and unity in times of hardship.
For fans of the Braxtons, the upcoming series promises to be a moving tribute to Traci’s memory while showcasing the family’s unwavering bond and determination to navigate life’s challenges together.
