“I don’t have any other story to tell with this friend group. I want to finish what I started,” Lee told Variety.
” crew — Lance , Shelby , Harper , Candace , Quentin , Robyn , Jordan and Murch . And after two box-office blockbuster movies, the franchise creator/co-developer/writer/director/executive producer confirms that “The Best Man: The Final Chapters” is really the end.
“I really want to close these stories out for the fans, but I figure let’s let it end there. If I were to do more, that’d be me pushing it,” Lee says. “These actors have other roles to play; let’s end in a good place.
North was already a big fan of the franchise when she signed on as co-developer, writer and executive producer, telling Lee that she and her group of college friends had found the films deeply relatable. The series is about the growing pains the friend group is experiencing as they hit middle age, navigating the single life — and, in some cases, single parenthood, career pivots and more. “When you’re in college, it’s a different kind of mess than when you’re in your 40s, and you’ve got homes and you’ve got kids. It’s a different kind of metamorphosis,” she adds.
“A lot of growth that happens with all these men — as husbands, as fathers, as friends, and, not just in their personal lives, in their careers as well. They’re finding their purpose in life,” Lee said, breaking down the storylines. “What kind of things is he writing? And how does that affect his relationship with his wife, with his daughter, with his friends,” Lee says, teasing Harper’s persistent desire to “reach for more,” often at the risk of his personal relationships.
“It was probably the safest thing we could choose,” he says of trying to maintain some suspense throughout the promotional rollout. “This is the 20th anniversary of the film festival and it’s the 23rd anniversary of ‘The Best Man,’ people have lived with these characters for a long time, so you just want to set a tone and make sure people find them engaging, fun and relatable.”
“It was important to acknowledge the world that we are in, in all the ways, so acknowledging the things that have affected these characters lives: the pandemic revolution that has happened, the evolution that that Black masculinity and femininity are undergoing right now,” North explains. “Even though we’re in a world right now where everyone is not currently in a mask everywhere you go, it affected our collective psyches.
