The Upshaws, a down-to-earth sitcom about a working-class family, is returning for a much-awaited Season 4. As Season 3 came to an end, fans were left wanting more. Regina’s struggle with sadness is a big reason why she didn’t get into her dream graduate studies program. Even though Regina’s family really wants to help and support her, their words fall flat, and she chooses to leave their family home. Since this storyline wasn’t wrapped up, people are getting more excited for it to be continued in Season 4.
Bennie and Lucretia, who work together to run the car shop, start a new business journey after the setback due to their arrest in the previous season. The question is whether Lucretia can learn to trust Bennie more. Given how different they are, this doesn’t seem likely, as their relationship is like oil resisting water’s embrace. In the last few minutes of Season 3, the attention shifts back to Bennie when his younger son Kelvin and his mother Tasha show up out of the blue.
Tasha, who is about to marry her fiance and lives in a nearby town, shows up out of the blue. This surprise hints that her engagement has some bad news in it, which means there will be more mystery to come out.
In Part 4, the Upshaws will face even more challenges as they try to keep their family together. Bennie will be struggling to find a job, Regina will be dealing with the stress of being a single parent, and Aaliyah will be starting high school. But through it all, the Upshaws will always have each other’s backs.
