TV ONE ANNOUNCES PRODUCTION OF ORIGINAL FILM "COINS FOR LOVE" STARRING STEPHEN BISHOP, ESSENCE ATKINS, TC CARSON AND KENDRICK CROSS

It's A Case of the Exes as Relationship Goals Become Relationship Woes in New Romantic Drama

(SILVER SPRING, MD) - February 3, 2020 - TV One announced today that production is underway in Atlanta, GA for its new original film COINS FOR LOVE, slated to premiere in August.

In this sequel to TV One's popular COINS FOR CHRISTMAS, audiences are reunited with single mother Madison Morris (Atkins) who has landed her dream job at a publishing company. To Madison's dismay, she learns she's been hired on a probationary period and will not receive her full salary until the process is over, again leaving her in a financial struggle to support her two teenage children.

Alec Darby (Bishop) has also started the job of his dreams on a national sports network but soon clashes with his co-host Demarco (Cross). Friends Madison and Alec reunite and discuss their career challenges, prompting Alec to offer Madison a job as his personal assistant. The two embark on a great working relationship and sparks start to fly but not before Alec's ex reemerges in the picture and Madison's ex-husband comes crawling back with promises of a fresh start. Will the couple's budding relationship be able to withstand the ultimate test - their exes - in this romantic drama?
