Mary J. Blige Presents Be Happy | Official Trailer (Lifetime 2026)

Tisha Campbell stars in Lifetime's 'Mary J. Blige Presents Be Happy,' inspired by the GRAMMY-winner's hit song. Campbell is 50-year-old Val, a devoted wife and stay-at-home mom, who is eager to reignite the spark in her marriage when her youngest child leaves for college. Grappling with empty-nest feelings, loneliness and growing emotional distance from her husband Ross (Russell Hornsby), Val begins to realize that her marriage and the woman she once was, may be slipping away. A spontaneous escape to New Orleans to support her pregnant daughter, Kayla (Zing Ashford), awakens long-buried dreams and passions and introduces her to Peter Mosley (Mekhi Phifer), a handsome and charismatic photographer who sees her in ways she has forgotten to see herself. Reawakening her artistic spirit and rediscovering her worth, Val must face a life-altering question: is it ever too late to choose yourself and the love you truly deserve? 'Mary J. Blige Presents Be Happy' premieres on Saturday, Feb. 7, at 8 p.m. ET/PT as part of Love of a Lifetime.
