'The Oval', which is written and created by Tyler Perry, returns with its second season on July 20 on BET.

However, behind the picture-perfect facade there is a storm of lies, cheating and corruption.
Season 2 returns with an episode called 'The Target' in which we will see Hunter and Victoria in a power struggle concerning a terrorist and find Lilly (Ciera Payton) and Donald (Lodric D Collins) discussing their marriage and laying down ground rules. This all occurs while Barry (Vaughn W Hebron) struggles to hunt for his daughter.
