The Single Black Female franchise is coming to an end with Single Black Female 3, which premieres on Lifetime this Saturday, March 22, 2025. Raven Goodwin, Amber Riley, and K. Michelle will be reuniting for the last time to reprise their roles as Monica, Simone, and Bebe.
Single Black Female 3 picks up from where the last chapter left us, with Monica finally being exonerated after being wrongfully convicted of murder. Although the charges against her have been dropped, suspicion lingers, and reclaiming her life and career, as well as the trust of those around her is proving to be a tough task.
Meanwhile, Simone, who is now a fugitive, has fled to a convent in Mexico after abandoning Houston, along with her daughter, Joy. However, when an incident leaves her shaken to the core, Simone returns when she feels that Joy is in danger. What awaits is a final reckoning between the estranged half-sisters and is now only a matter of time before old grudges resurface.
