Video streaming service UMC (Urban Movie Channel) will debut its latest original drama series, 5th Ward, on March 2, the company said.

The series depicts the life and struggles of residents from Houston’s 5th Ward community, according to company officials. Grammy-winning artist Mya (Chicago) leads an ensable cast that includes Carl Anthony Payne (The Game), Thomas “Nephew Tommy” Miles (Think Like a Man), Gary Sturgis (Daddy’s Little Girls), Corr Kendricks (Showtime’s The Chi, Fox's Empire), Chris O’ Neal (Greenhouse Academy) and Christopher Jefferson (Boy Bye).

UMC will stream the six-epispode series on a weekly basis beginning March 2, said officials of the African-American targeted streaming service.

The service also announced it will premiere on Friday (Feb. 23) the music documentary I Am The Blues, which takes a nostalgic musical tour of the juke joints, backroads and church halls of the Mississippi Delta.
