Simpson, Walter Fauntleroy, Brad Benedict, Travis Cure, and Matthew Law
In a recent article, Deadline reports season two of The Oval was supposed to begin production in March right before the coronavirus shut down production. Season one is slated to return on May 6th on BET.

In the article, Perry laid out his plan to re-open his studio and begin production on The Oval with a limited crew:
It takes me 2 1/2 weeks to shoot a season of 22 episodes, and all of my shows are shot on the lot — we never leave the lot for anything anyway. So everything is already there.”
