The Mayor will premiere on Tuesday, October 3rd, at 9:30pm on ABC. The Mayor boasts a very promising cast with Brandon Michael Hall, commonly known for his work on TBS’s Search party,  Yvette Nicole Brown, of NBC’s Community and Lea Michele of Fox’s Glee.

The Mayor is a story of a young hip-hop musician struggling to find success in the rap game and decides to run for Mayor as a publicity stunt, and somehow ends up winning. The Mayor is said to have been inspired by Chance The Rapper, as per producer Daveed Digs. The show has been dealt a tough draw due to the timing block it shares with hit show, Brooklyn Nine-Nine.  It will also compete with third highest watched show, Bull on CBS. However, it is slated to air right after Anthony Anderson’s hit show “Black-ish.”

The Mayor has recently been heavily advertised on ABC, especially on Saturdays during College Football and also on ESPN during Monday Night Football. The show is produced by Jeremy Bronson and “Hamilton Breakout” Daveed Digs and in association with ABC studios and Bluegrass Fanfare.
