So remember a few weeks ago when we exclusively reported news that BET in conjunction with Akil Productions, the same people who brought you “Girlfriends” and “The Game,” would be debuting a new show this fall titled “Single Black Female?”

Well it appears casting for the lead role has been completed and actress Gabrielle Union has landed the role.

Like all new shows, “Single Black Female” is just a pilot and should it’s first few airings (6 have been ordered) do well in the ratings, will then be picked up and officially added to the line-up.

As previously reported, BET is looking to beef up their roster in the wake of “The Game’s” ever declining ratings.

As for the casting of Gabrielle, kudos to BET and the Akils (Mara & Brock) for actually hiring a black woman to star in “Single Black Female.” With Hollywood’s multicultural casting stance you never know who will be chosen to play a black woman these days. Honestly they could’ve chosen Kim Kardashian and I wouldn’t have been the least bit surprised.

Glad to see they got this one right.
