Tracking the final fourteen days of freedom of hip-hop diva Lil Kim, Countdown to Lockdown premiered on BET to 1.9 million viewers nationally, becoming the most-watched series debut in BET’s 25-year history.
“When we showed the first episode of Lil’ Kim to test audiences, we got the highest scores in the history of the company. So when it became the biggest series debut in the history of the network, I wasn’t surprised,” said Reginald Hudlin of BET. “As powerful as the first episode is, the series finale is even better. I’m pleased and relieved that my first new series on BET has become a ‘must see’ for so many people. I’m grateful to Edmonds Entertainment for delivering another great show for the network, and to the entire team at BET.”
Lil Kim is one of the most celebrated rappers in the business. BET’s cameras were allowed full access to Lil Kim, her entourage, and family before she loses her freedom.
BET viewers ride along with the rap diva and fashion icon as she sorts out her business, promotes her new CD, shops, hits the party scene, and says goodbye to friends and family.
