The Best Man: The Final Chapters begins streaming all eight episodes on Peacock today! Fans of this 25-year narrative are surely excited to be reunited with some of their favorite characters, Harper, Robin, Jordan, Lance, Murch, Candace, Quentin, and Shelby as they enter the next phase of their lives as spouses, parents, career professionals, and all-around grown-ups.
But just as the audience reunites with this college crew every ten or so years, so do the actors that play these beloved characters. Since The Best Man plays a bit like a collegiate reunion every time the audience sees these cultural icons together, ESSENCE caught up with stars Taye Diggs and Nia Long to play a quick game of superlatives to find out who wins some of the “most popular” titles among this ageless cast.

It’s the group – we really love one another,” Long said of what keeps the cast coming back to this story decade after decade. “We came together when it was time to negotiate. We talked about the importance of knowing our value. We talked about the importance of coming together collectively because that way, we are stronger.”
“And the importance of the story,” she continued. “On the artistic side, to make sure we gave these characters the justice that we all believe they deserve. I grew up with Jordan, so I can only imagine what the audience expects from us.”
