Meet Brandee
Brandee’s talent has earned her two NAACP Image Award nominations for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series for her work on P-Valley. She also won the Women’s Image Network Award in 2021 for Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series.
Beyond her acclaimed role on P-Valley, Brandee Evans continues to demonstrate her impressive versatility across film, television, and theater. She appears in the Bleecker Street comedy The Fabulous Four, playing Sheryl Lee Ralph’s daughter, and stars in the feature film Color Book, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2024 and has been earning praise at festivals worldwide. On television, she delivered a memorable recurring performance on Hulu’s UnPrisoned, while also starring in the independent film Incision. Most recently, Brandee captivated audiences with her powerful performance in Black Cypress Bayou at The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.
“And then there is Mercedes (Brandee Evans). I can’t say enough about this character because I love her so much, and Evans is masterful in the role. Mercedes is everything: the best dancer at The Pynk, an athlete, a coach to young girls, a struggling entrepreneur, an emotionally abused daughter, a regretful estranged mother, that clutch friend you need when you’re in a jam, a fighter, the queen of snappy one-liners and someone who understands the value and limits of selling sex. She has an authenticity and a level of comfort with herself and her body that feels honest. She is a Black female character that we can all love and someone that we deserve.” – Shani Saxon, ColorLines.com
