[9] In June, Morris Chestnut, DomiNque Perry, Claudia Logan, Bryan Terrell Clark, Phylicia Rashad, Shannon Wallace and Jon Chaffin have joined the main cast.

[14] Aramide Tinubu from Variety gave it positive review writing: “Diarra From Detroit is multilayered, and might have been a hodgepodge of confusion in less capable hands.

However, Kilpatrick and her writers execute the dramedy flawlessly... Diarra From Detroit works because it’s unlike anything seen on television in recent years.

Refreshing, captivating and unapologetically Black, the series is about finding the courage to actively participate in your own life even when that means doing the absolute most.

[16] Nandini Balial from RogerEbert.com also praised performances, especially from Kilpatrick, Clark, Perry and Logan, writing and creative costumes.
