Mike Epps to Play ‘Uncle Buck’ in ABC Comedy Pilot, Nia Long Also Joins Cast

Another win for diversity (this has become an ongoing saying for us as of late)!

It had been reported not too long ago that 1989’s Uncle Buck would be adapted into a new comedy series for ABC.

It had also been reported that the TV adaptation would feature an all-black cast unlike the film.

Well, today we received the news that Mike Epps will star as Buck, while Nia Long will star as the wife of Buck’s brother.

Yes!
