In 2024, Lee was honored with the Career Achievement Award by the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of Black Cinema & Television, recognizing his esteemed body of work over a 25-year career. The award was especially meaningful as it marked the 25th anniversary of his directorial debut, The Best Man.

Through his production company, Blackmaled Productions, Lee is developing a robust slate of film and television projects. Upcoming titles include Before I Let Go, based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Kennedy Ryan; and an untitled project based on the life of Chris “Ludacris” Bridges—both in partnership with Universal Television. Lee is also reuniting with Universal Pictures for the highly anticipated Girls Trip 2.

Expanding his storytelling into the literary world, Lee will publish his debut novel, The Best Man: Unfinished Business, in July 2025. A continuation of the iconic film franchise’s beloved characters, the book will be released by Storehouse Voices, an imprint of Crown Publishing Group (a division of Penguin Random House LLC). It is the first in a planned trilogy of trade paperbacks, with books two and three slated for release in 2026.

“What? You don’t care about Black women? The saviors of democracy? The keepers of culture? The purveyors of style, the titans of industry, the champions of education? The hardest-working, baddest bitches to have ever had to hold a country up by their carefully manicured fingertips? You ought to give ALL the FUCKS, she thought.”
