Countdown to A Raisin In the Sun

Happy New Year, TVnista readers!

As promised, I'm counting down to the eagerly anticipated television movie adaption of Lorraine Hansberry's classic play A Raisin in the Sun.

The special, three-hour movie will air on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on ABC. Please mark your calendars and set the TiVos!

The cast of the Tony Award-winning Broadway revival reprise their roles for the new film, including Phylicia Rashad, Audra McDonald, Sanaa Lathan, and Sean "Diddy" Combs.

In other good news, A Raisin in the Sun will be screened at the Sundance Film Festival later this month, marking the first time that a broadcast network film will be featured at the prestigious film festival.

Here's a sneak peak of what is sure to be a wonderful and memorable televison event:
