TBS is set to launch a weekly celebration of Black movies and culture with its new offering, Friday Night Vibes. Set to premiere on June 18 at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT, Friday Night Vibes will serve as a celebration of diverse stories and filmmakers, with movies ranging across all different genres. The first movies to be featured will be the Michael B. Jordan-led Creed and Creed 2.
Friday Night Vibes is hosted by Tiffany Haddish and Deon Cole. In addition to the movies, the weekly program will feature comedy, celebrity interviews, behind-the-scenes insights and musical performances.
