‘Sistas’ star Novi Brown signs with Innovative Artists Entertainment
Novi Brown has signed with Innovative Artists Entertainment for representation in all areas, Variety only learned. She is still represented by Alta Global Media and Crawford Talents, Germany.
Brown is best known for her starring role in the hit BET series “Sistas,” from celebrated and prolific creator Tyler Perry. Brown played the role of Sabrina Hollins in the show’s first nine seasons, ending before the tenth season, which aired in January 2026. The show has proven to be a strong part of BET’s scripted lineup and has already inspired two spinoffs: “Zatima” and “Divorced Sistas.”
Brown also starred in and was a consulting producer on the holiday film “A Wesley South African Christmas,” directed by Patricia Cuffie-Jones, and worked with Jasmine Guy, Dorian Wilson, TC Carson and Terrayle Hill. She has appeared in numerous other leading roles, including films such as ‘Alone in the Dark’, ‘The First Noelle’ and ‘Holiday Hideaway’. In addition to “Sistas,” she previously appeared on the hit CBS procedural “NCIS.”
In theater, Brown appeared in stage productions of ‘The Vagina Monologues’, ‘Dutchman’ and ‘Boston Marriage’. She was also an investor in the recent Broadway production of “Othello” starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal. The production sold out all performances and quickly became one of the most talked about shows on Broadway.
As a producer, Brown produced the short film ‘Drugs Are Fun’, which recently won a spot at the Pan African Film Festival. There are plans to develop the film into a series.
