When asked about the biggest challenge he faced while filming the series, Bobby replied that it was getting all the kids to behave. He and his wife Alicia Etheredge-Brown, alongside their three children, Cassius, Bodhi, and Hendrix, and Brown’s two adult kids, La’Princia and Landon are all set to star in the series. Meanwhile, Alicia said:

“Our kids are 12, five and six and they are very active. They have big personalities, you’ll see that. They are not shy at all. And they want to do it their way.”

Bobbi Kristina Brown was born in 1993, a year after her father and Whitney tied the knot. Bobbi performed on her mother’s songs and offered vocals and occasional spoken parts. Following Whitney’s death in 2012, Bobbi pursued a career in acting and played a small role in the TV show, Better or Worse.

In 2015, Bobbi was discovered face down in a bathtub at her home in Georgia. She was eventually put under an induced coma by doctors and stayed that way for six months, before developing Lobar Pneumonia, which ultimately caused her death.

It was later revealed that she had taken drugs before being found in the bathtub.
