BET adult-focused companion channel BET 'J' will launch the second season based on the life of NBA star Doug Christie and his wife Jackie. Often misunderstood, their relationship is one that will keep viewers mystified, entertained and in awe.

The whole BET Family has embraced us and we are very excited to be doing another season with them."

Throughout their 14 year marriage, Doug and Jackie Christie have consistently defended the nature of their much-scrutinized relationship to the media. Follow the lives of Doug Christie, a champion and tough-nosed competitor and his strong-willed wife, Jackie. You can't take your eyes off the Christies as drama continues to follow them. Viewers will get a first hand look into the life of the NBA's most talked about couple and their challenges and triumphs. Jackie smiles and says, "We are extremely happy to be returning to BET J for season two of our show."
