Williams, an alumnus of The Oval cast, spoke with BET about the political spin-off and how she discovered that she is getting the starring role.</p> <p> </p> <p>She found out before filming The Oval. She was watching a movie on a Sunday and got a phone call from a 404 number that was not saved. She said that she normally doesn't answer phone calls from numbers that are not saved, because most of the time those are calls from telemarketers, or student loans offers. Then she got a text from that same number: It was from Tyler Perry, and he left a message that he was trying to reach her, she was so excited and couldn't believe what she was hearing, in her eyes, Tyler Perry is a living legend. She ended up calling the number back, but she didn't know what to expect. He told her that he was about to start his vacation, but he wanted to discuss something important with her, only then she realized that it was getting real and she just stayed silent because she was not going to interrupt Tyler Perry.</p> <p> </p> <h2>Will there be a Season 3?</h2> <p> </p> <p>Ruthless does not yet have a release date. The series is either on hold or the new season has yet to be announced. We will make sure to notify you as soon as we get some updates.</p>
