The Suttons Return for More Drama

I am so happy that ABC Family’s fantastic urban drama Lincoln Heights, the recipient of numerous NAACP Image Award nominations, has made it to a third season. Hopefully, many more are in store.

Season Three kicks off tonight at 8pm EST with the first of ten fresh episodes called “Glass House.” The title hints at the fragility of a home, a theme reflected in the central plot when a group of thugs break into the Sutton house while Cassie and her boyfriend Charles are upstairs. Frightening stuff.

The situation becomes even more typically intense when the teenagers, who tried to hide in the attic, are found and held hostage. Clearly, Lincoln Heights has no intention of losing its edge, a fact that I find very satisfying. So, I expect the series to remain one of my favorites.

Check out a couple of trailers for the show below before catching the season premiere tonight. And, later this week, I’ll have an interview I participated in earlier today with series stars Russell Hornsby and Nicki Micheaux, who play the elder Suttons, parents Eddie and Jenn.
