The Oprah Winfrey Network announced the addition of fourteen new performers who will be joining Maahra Hill in the upcoming new drama, Delilah! 

The series, debuting in March 20201, follows Delilah Connolly, a headstrong, highly principled lawyer living in Charlotte, North Carolina. Delilah's doing her best to raise two kids alone and keep her ties to family, friends, and faith strong, all the while ceaselessly seeking justice for those who need it most, in a time when the rich and powerful of Charlotte and beyond will do anything to stop her.  

Check out the new cast members below:

 

Kelly Jacobs (Maia) 

Smart, feisty, and creative, Maia is Delilah's teenage daughter. She’s confident and unafraid to speak her mind or stand up for herself.

(Series Regular)

 

Khalil Johnson (Dion) 

Dion is Delilah's nephew, her brother Nate's son. Dion has not had an easy life and all he wants is some stability and his absent mother’s love. However, the love he's getting from his aunt is unconditional - and he's starting to feel at home. (Series Regular)

 

Braelyn Rankins (Marcus) 

A sweet kid, Marcus is Delilah's son. Energetic, confident, and sharp, he is a little annoyed that his five-year-old cousin has been staying at the house - and wonders how long he has to put up with it. Nonetheless, Marcus is a good-natured boy who likes to have a good time. Also perceptive, when he sees his mother is distracted, he knows how to make her smile. (Series Regular)

 

Lyriq Bent (Gordon)

Delilah's ex-husband and the father of their kids. Unfortunately, his good looks and charisma have caused him some problems. A professor, he slept with one of his college students, losing his job and his marriage to Delilah as collateral damage. Despite their differences, he and Delilah must work together to co-parent the kids they both love. (Recurring)

 

Joseph Callender (Andre)

Casey’s handsome and single best friend. When Tamara and Casey introduce him to Delilah, he’s very interested and courts her. (Recurring)

 

LaMonica Garrett (Casey)

Leonard Harmon (Nate)

While he is adjusting to the VA and his new physical condition, his son, Dion, has been left in Delilah's care. (Guest Recurring)

 

Candace B. Harris (Christine)

Nate's estranged wife and Dion's mother.  Too much of a wreck to properly care for her son, she has (briefly) entrusted Dion to Delilah's care -- but "brief" is a very elastic word, and this situation is getting tighter and closer to the snapping point with every passing hour -- and so is Delilah's temper. (Guest Recurring)

Leah and Delilah have known each other since college, but have fallen out of touch in the years that have passed.
