On Friday, February 18, 2022, BET+ announced that the cast of MARTIN is coming back for a reunion special to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the show's debut. Hosted by Affion Crockett, the reunion will include interviews with Martin Lawrence (Martin), Tisha Campbell (Gina), Tichina Arnold (Pamela), Carl Anthony Payne II (Cole) -- along with special musical performances, behind the scenes commentary, and surprise guest appearances -- as the original cast reunite to discuss the show's origin and its evolution on BET+ later this summer.
