LOS ANGELES -- Kandi Burruss is joining the cast of Onyx Collective's "Reasonable Doubt" on Hulu for season 2.
The former star of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" made the announcement exclusively on "GMA 3."
"My character on the show, Eboni, she's a recovering addict. So you see a lot of different emotions laid out throughout the season," Burruss told GMA 3 hosts DeMarco Morgan and Eva Pilgrim.
"This is the deepest dive that I've taken emotionally of one of the characters that I've been able to play."
Burruss revealed that she met "Reasonable Doubt" creator and executive producer Raamla Mohamed on a plane. They got to talking, exchanged numbers and met up for a meal and Burruss was offered a role after that.
"Reasonable Doubt" stars Emayatzy Corinealdi, Morris Chestnut, McKinley Freeman, Tim Jo, Angela Grovey, Aderinsola Olabode and Thaddeus J. Mixson.
Season 2 will explore Corinealdi's character Jax Stewart and the fallout after last season's trial and deadly affair.
