Meagan Good and Cory Hardrict found a way to draw inspiration from their own lives while filming their new thriller, Divorce in the Black . “I know what divorce is and how devastating divorce can be and the trauma it can cause, but I wanted to show that you can find light on the other side,” Good, 42, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting the dark thriller. “I have the experience and I want people to know there’s light on the other side and all you have to do is walk toward it.
” Divorce in the Black, which hit Prime Video on Thursday, July 11, follows Ava (Good), a young bank professional who is devastated when her husband, Dallas (Hardrict), abandons their marriage. Ava is determined to fight for the relationship until fate intervenes, revealing Dallas’ wicked deeds that have trashed their marriage — and previously sabotaged Ava’s destiny to be loved by her true soulmate. The film is written and directed by Tyler Perry , with Joseph Lee Anderson , Shannon Wallace , Taylor Polidore , Richard Lawson and Debbi Morgan also starring.
Navigating her way through divorce is something Good has done herself, as she was previously married to DeVon Franklin nearly 10 years before their 2022 split. While she has since moved on with Jonathan Majors, the actress connected to her character’s journey of finding power after loss. Hardrict was also able to draw from his own life for his role as Dallas, as he and Tia Mowry announced their divorce in October 2022.
