Gabrielle Union Reveals Shocking News About Being Mary Jane

We are sorry to be the bearer of bad news to all fans and supporters of the series however Being Mary Jane has reached the end of the road. Gabrielle Union took to her Instagram to share the heartbreaking news to her fans. She explained that Being Mary Jane, which is currently in it’s fourth season would be ending and not returning for another season. She then shared her most heart-felt thanks with the cast and production team as well as all those who’ve closely followed the journey of her character Mary Jane.

To Every Fan of Being Mary Jane, We have all worked so tirelessly to bring you a show that we could be proud to be a part of. Mary Jane has become my favorite character. We’ve screwed up together, laughed together, evolved together, and raised hell together. I love all her imperfections, and through playing her I became more forgiving of others who are imperfect and on the journey of self discovery and improvement. We watched her struggle with relationships with both men and women, and we watched her finally start to get her shit together. But the journey isn’t over yet. We, as a Being Mary Jane family, cannot wait to bring you this final 2 hour series finale movie that will answer all your questions about each and every character. More than anything, however, we want to thank you with every fiber of our being for faithfully watching the show and supporting our work… from the actors, writers, producers, directors and enormous crew over the years, we are humbled and we remain grateful. Thank you!
