THE SHEARDS is a weekly docu-drama following the lives of the Sheard family as they navigate family, friends, and faith in a modern world. Meet Kierra “KiKi” Sheard (24) and her brother, J. Drew (22). As the kids of First Lady Karen Clark Sheard, one of gospel’s most powerful women and Bishop J. Drew Sheard, a mega-church pastor in Detroit, these kids face a responsibility unlike any other. And as they continue to grow and face the ups and downs of becoming an adult, they’ll show us the choices they make as they learn life’s lessons, in many cases the hard way. THE SHEARDS will examine a family’s dynamic on a multigenerational level.
Meet the Cast
KiKi Sheard: At only 24, KiKi has experienced amazing commercial success in the gospel world releasing her own albums and appearing on tracks with her mother and other gospel music superstars. After recently releasing her fifth album, Free, Kiki is ready to break out of her family’s shadow as she looks to find her own, unique voice.
J. Drew: J. Drew (22) is on a mission all his own as he wades through his own transition period. Growing up in the church, his great grandfather, grandfather and father all became bishops. Now, Bishop Sheard is pushing his son towards the direction of the church.
Karen Clark Sheard: For Karen, it can be difficult being a first lady (a preacher’s wife), gospel superstar and doting mother. She loves her family, but sometimes KiKi thinks she is over-protective. A “daddy’s girl,” KiKi still lives at home with her parents with Karen calling her “their little princess.”
J. Drew Sheard: After rising through the church and becoming a Bishop, J. Drew Sr. feels the weight of the congregation on his shoulders as well as that of his family and their own life vicissitudes. He’s preparing to run for a higher office within his international COGIC denomination, a character unto itself. Bishop is unsure of how his family will be received – J. Drew II has a child out of wedlock, a big no-no in the church world period, especially for the son of a Bishop.
