IFC and R. Kelly are teaming up for more episodes of the “hip hopera” Trapped in the Closet. The series will return with new episodes in 2014, so says IFC President and General Manager Jennifer Caserta. And all 33 previous chapters of the series will air on Saturday, December 7, 2013 at 5:15pm ET/PT.

“R. Kelly is an enormously talented artist and his creativity is on full display in Trapped in the Closet,” said Caserta. “We are fortunate to be his partner in this one-of-a-kind project that has captivated viewers and can’t wait to bring the next chapters of Trapped to IFC.”

R. Kelly stars in, executive produces, co-directs, and created the series. Per the network: “Born entirely from his creative vision, characters Sylvester, Rufus, Cathy, Tina, Roxanne, Rosie the Nosy Neighbor, Randolph, Twan, Pimp Lucius, Dr. Perry, Reverend Moseley, and kingpin Beeno all return to this epic saga with more secrets, infidelity and unyielding passion for saving their relationships.”
