Keith Sweat Brings Foster-Care Family Drama To Tubi With Fat Joe

Keith Sweat is putting family separation on television with a new drama that brings Fat Joe into the cast. He’s both an executive producer and an actor in Twin Pillars: A Series, rather than simply lending his name to the credits.

The show’s official announcement identifies Darrin Dewitt Henson as its creator and director, with a November arrival on Tubi. At the center are fraternal twins whose parents’ incarceration sends them into foster care, leaving the brothers to grow into different lives.

Henson plays Dre opposite Alimi Ballard’s Maurice, while Sweat plays a club owner named Snow. Crystal Coney and Sean Anthony Baker also appear alongside Fat Joe.

“Music has always been my way of connecting with people through stories that speak to real-life experiences,” Keith Sweat said in a statement supplied to Billboard. The singer’s explanation places his television work alongside his music, with family and second chances driving this particular project.

Sweat already has a screen-producing credit beyond this new series. His official website lists him as an executive producer of The Secret Between Us, while also promoting the late-night radio program The Sweat Hotel.

Henson brings his own experience with family-centered television, including Soul Food and The Family Business. His career also runs through choreography, with a 2000 MTV Video Music Award for NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” among his credits.

For Hip-Hop listeners, Sweat’s connection to Fat Joe isn’t coming out of nowhere. He’s also appeared on Joe and Jada, where Jadakiss recalled losing money to him during a studio dice game.

The television rollout comes with Sweat still keeping live dates on his calendar. His official schedule lists the Pompano Fall Festival in Deerfield Beach on November 28, followed by December appearances in Nigeria and South Africa.

The first three episodes of Twin Pillars are due on Tubi on November 16.
