Sistas Jumps Ahead in Season 7, Beginning a ‘New Era’ for Tyler Perry’s BET Drama — Watch Trailer

Tyler Perry’s Sistas just wrapped its sixth season on BET, but who has time to reflect on all of those game-changing twists when Season 7 is right around the corner?

Let’s start with something for which we can all be thankful: the season is kicking off with a three-month time jump! Not only will this allow the show to shake off some of its lingering (aka stale) storylines, but it will also usher in a “new era” for the hit drama.

And if you doubt that major changes are in store, just take a look at Karen in the trailer above. You can actually tell that she’s pregnant! (Well, kind of. At this point, we’ll take whatever we can get.)

Hit PLAY on the trailer above, then read on for a breakdown of everything we know about Sistas Season 7 so far, from its release date (very soon!) to a possible death. When you’re done, drop a comment with your own hopes for Andi, Karen, Sabrina, Danni and Fatima.

Good news for people who hate waiting (aka everyone): the Season 7 premiere of Sistas airs on Wednesday, Jan. 3 at 9/8c, just one week after the Season 6 finale. #ThankYouTylerPerry

New episodes will continue to air in that timeslot on Wednesdays. The season is expected to have 22 episodes, likely split in two parts.

We’ve got good news and bad news on this front: The bad news is that, no, we don’t expect Karen to give birth in Season 7. And why should we? She’s been pregnant for four seasons and she’s not even showing yet.

Now for the good news: Thanks to Sistas‘ three-month time jump, we can confirm that Karen will finally be sporting a bump on screen in Season 7. At least it’s a start!

We’re honestly tired of asking this question, mostly because the show has already given us several different answers purely to drag this storyline out for as long as possible. The trailer for Season 7 reveals that Karen is having yet another DNA test to find out whether her baby really is Zac’s, and while we’re not 100% confident that we’ll get a definitive answer (fool us twice, shame on us!), we’re choosing to remain cautiously optimistic.

Karen may not be the only Sista with a bun in the oven for much longer. With her legal troubles finally behind her, Sabrina tells the girls that she intends to freeze her eggs. And while we’re not sure we can handle two pregnant Sistas at the same time, at least we know that Sabrina’s pregnancy won’t also include a paternity mystery!

For a Tyler Perry drama, Sistas has been surprisingly light on murders lately, but that’s about to change in Season 7. The trailer includes a brief shot of someone, presumably male, being taken away on a gurney. We’re supposed to assume that it’s Gary killing off Andi’s new man (aka the brother of Gary’s secret pregnant ex-fiancée), but that would be too easy… right?
