Coming Soon to IFC: R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet: The Next Installment” Coming Soon to IFC: Portlandia, Marc Maron, New Trapped in the Closet, and more The 10 best “Snobs vs Slobs” comedies Tim Grierson on “The Hunger Games” and the rise of Hollywood’s next generation of stars

Coming Soon to IFC: R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet: The Next Installment”

In 2005, multi-platinum recording artist R. Kelly launched a cultural phenomenon with the mega-hit urban operetta “Trapped in the Closet.” The show defies categorization. Part contemporary movie musical, part urban soap opera, part epic music video, part independent film, this groundbreaking series unfolds like a juicy tabloid story, full of suspense, mystery, drama and packed with unexpected twists and turns.

Fans and critics alike applauded the unique series filled with over-the-top characters and complex story lines, all set to a sexy R&B groove. Viewers demanded more, and R. Kelly delivered again and again with brand new characters and plot twists and 22 chapters of whatever was going on inside R. Kelly’s rich interior world.

The premiere chapters were a suspenseful, mysterious, humorous and dramatic story, packed with cliffhangers and unexpected twists and turns. Now, Sylvester, Rufus, Cathy, Gwendolyn, Bridget, Big Man, Rosie the Nosy Neighbor, Twan and Pimp Lucius are back! This year, the crew reunites on IFC in the next installments of R. Kelly’s continuing hip hopera about a group of characters interconnected by sexual exploits, little people and a mysterious package.

TRAPPED IN THE CLOSET is produced by Sylvester Films and Fuzzy Bunny Films; R. Kelly executive produces, writes, stars, and co-directs with Jim Swaffield; Ann Carli is the producer. For IFC, the show is executive produced by Jennifer Caserta, Debbie DeMontreux, Christine Lubrano and Evan Shapiro.

Check below for a teaser of the third installment.

You've got to be kidding me.

I am a Kelly fan... yes. But the shit he puts his fans through

We didn't need 25 instalments of that first mess , then he goes from a great album Love Letter to this new black panties shit, from a gospel album to an album about weed, sex & fucking in kitchens. And now more trapped in the closet? Kells is giving me the music ''package'' with this bullshit he keeps making

We are dealing with R. Kelly here.......

Wonder who he trapped in the closet...

This dumb and smart at the same time.

The smart part about this - it's a good business move for both Kellz and IFC. He's going to garner more media (positive and maybe negative if their are parodies made) than he did many years ago.

The dumb part - he's blemishing his status and a talented singer-songwriter. The main people who appreciate TITC are non-fans and they appreciate the series for it's humor. In their minds, R. Kelly is this eccentric genius that's unintentionally funny.

Thing is he jumped the shark when he did this, why continue to risk getting bit by the shark by continuing to parody yourself?

Chapters 16-19 are the best piece of music I done ever heard.

I thought the first 4 chapters were cool (the first one being my favorite) but then it became silly as it dragged on.

Yeah the first five chapters were the best thing about it. I did like chapter, I believe, 13, when Rufus, Cathy and Chuck make a comeback (I still love the part where the music stops and Cathy and Chuck attack each other lol). But it definitely did get a lot sillier especially with the Rosie and Randolph b.s. and that mob part.

I Know that whole dream shit was useless... even worse that pimp at church... what did that whole part have to do with ANYTHING

DICK + DICK = PACKAGE

DICK + VAGINA = NO PACKAGE

I'll stick to the second equation, I dont like mail(male) lmao

That was some comment on youtube

but basically...

? Why else would everyone have to stop what there doing & urgently call everyone they know to talk about the ''package'' and you saw the pastors lover was sick? i mean what else could it be? you come on now

Are you serious?

What makes you think R. Kelly would write 32 more chapters about everyone having the "package" and the package ends up being AIDS? It's not AIDS. R. Kelly even recently said that no one knows what the "package" is.

Troll, why do you get mad when someone doesn't agree with you? The whole "you're a stan because we don't agree" mess is tired.

Are you seriously mad that the package isn't AIDS like you thought? Just wait and see when the new chapters are released later this year.
