BLK PRIME, the Subscription Video on Demand (SVoD) service available worldwide, has signed Kimberly Adair Clark, who is THE VOICE of Honey in the Incredibles movie, and Joe Torry, ("HBO's Def Comedy Jam 25", "Poetic Justice") as lead actors for a new on-demand web series sitcom, 'Hella-Oakland.

Kimberly Adair Clark's fans will have an opportunity to see her for the first time on blkprime.com. BLK PRIME'S COO, LaLene Shepherd, says Clark is the perfect addition to the BLK PRIME talent list, "We are thrilled to work with Kimberly Adair Clark. She aligns with our mission of presenting diverse talent, programing, content and partnerships." Joe Torry's dedicated fans have been following him for decades. Now they will get to see his authentic comedic views on the BLK PRIME network.

Long associated with the Bay Area, the name Hella Oakland is authentic to the community of Oakland.

'Hella-Oakland is a quick-witted, half-hour ensemble comedy that takes a satirical look at relationships, family, race, gender and gentrification in modern America. After 35 years together, Kim Barnes, (Kimberly Adair Clark), and HARRY Barnes, (Joe Torry), find their marriage staring down the barrel of divorce. Like their marriage, the Oakland community that they've known all of their lives is at risk of disappearing, the victim of gentrification. Kim and HARRY must navigate history, hurt, real love and disappointment to figure out what the future holds. They join friends and family in an attempt to keep it real and hold their own, while integrating with OUTSIDERS who are unfamiliar with the ways of Oakland. Barbecue Becky anyone?

Production starts July, 2018.
