(SILVER SPRING, MD) – TV One follows the success of its popular film COINS FOR CHRISTMAS with the premiere of the sequel, COINS FOR LOVE. The film’s stars Essence Atkins, Stephen Bishop, TC Carson, Kendrick Cross, and Karon Joseph Riley return to continue this blossoming love story.

The sequel reunites audiences with single mother Madison Morris (Atkins), who finds herself starting over. Madison lands her dream job at a publishing company. To her dismay, however, she must complete a probationary period and will not receive her full salary until the process is over, leaving her in a financial struggle.

With a new career and struggling to make ends meet, she works under the demands of her new job while raising two teens on her own. Making matters even more complicated, she finds herself torn between an old flame and a new love interest.  

“I was happy to bring the Coins family back together for the audience,” shared Bishop. “If you enjoyed Coins for Christmas, I think you’ll really love this one!” 

“It was and always is an absolute pleasure to play with Essence, Stephen and the rest of the uber-talented cast,” said Riley, who plays Jake. “As usual, we had a ball, and that is exactly what the fans should expect. A good time with a little bit of everything for everybody.”
