From Deadline
The Martin cast reunion was a big highlight of the January 2024 Emmy Awards, underlining the lasting popularity of the 1990s sitcom. A year later, the show is getting a franchise extension with Varnell Hill, a spinoff series greenlighted by BET+. It is headlined by actor-comedian Tommy Davidson as the titular Varnell Hill, reprising the beloved character he played as a guest star on Martin.
Varnell Hill is co-created and executive produced by Martin co-creator, star and executive producer Martin Lawrence and Martin executive producer/showrunner Bentley Evans, with Jesse Collins also executive producing. There is no confirmation of Lawrence appearing on the show, but I hear he is poised to reprise his Martin Payne role in multiple episodes.

I'd completely get behind this. I hope it's in a faux documentary format.
Hysterical!
Will be watching
Oh yes, Tommy is the truth. :)
Didja miss me? LOL. Wendy Williams had a cameo in that episode.
THAT WAS A HILARIOUS EPISODE
Heck yea Even Martin broke character and laughed at Tommy
About to go watch it on Max
PLAYED THE ENTIRE SERIES ALL WEEKEND
It's been 30years and it's still funny!
I love this episode. Should have been done a long time ago. Not sure how quickML will be but Tommy is a very wuivk comedian. Catfish are delicious!!! 🤤 😆😆
Wonder what happened to Ms Jerry she was hilarious!
Tommy is still a very Quick comedian *
I love Ms. Geri. She was funny in all of her episodes. I'm just now realizing the white guy from Martin played the uncle on Napolean Dynamite and is on White Lotus now. 'Martin' sprouted a lot of talent. Tommy's show should be good.
Yes, but I don't watch BET
