Okay, y'all, let's talk about Ruthless. If you're as obsessed with Tyler Perry's BET+ drama as we are, you're probably losing it wondering: Are we getting a Season 6 or what? This show—a spin-off of The Oval—has us hooked with Ruth Truesdale (Melissa L. Williams) fighting tooth and nail to escape that creepy Rakudushi cult and save her daughter, Callie. Season 5, Part 2 just wrapped in April 2025, and it was a total rollercoaster. So, sitting here on July 15, 2025, let's spill the tea on whether Ruthless Season 6 is happening and what we're dying to see next. The Current Status of Ruthless Season 6
As of July 15, 2025, BET+ hasn't officially confirmed a sixth season of Ruthless. Season 5, Part 2 premiered on March 13, 2025, with three episodes, followed by weekly releases until the finale on April 24, 2025. Since the season just wrapped, it's not surprising that we're still waiting for renewal news. Tyler Perry's shows, like The Oval and Sistas, often get greenlit close to the end of the current season, so we might hear something by late 2025 or early 2026. Who Would Return for Season 6?
If Ruthless returns, expect the core cast to reprise their roles, assuming no major deaths in Season 5's finale. Based on Season 5, we'd likely see: Melissa L. Williams as Ruth Truesdale
as Ruth Truesdale Matt Cedeño as The Highest/Tyrone Luckett
as The Highest/Tyrone Luckett Lenny Thomas as Anthony/Dikhan
as Anthony/Dikhan Baadja-Lyne Odums as Marva
as Marva Blue Kimble as Andrew
as Andrew Colin McCalla as River
as River Michelle Nuñez as Zane
as Zane Nadège August as Joan
as Joan Alise Willis as Lacey
New characters could join the mix, as Ruthless loves introducing fresh faces to stir things up. What Could Happen in Ruthless Season 6?
While we don't have plot details for a potential Season 6, Season 5's fallout sets the stage for more drama. Here's what fans might expect: Ruth's Next Move : Will Ruth finally break free from the Rakudushi cult, or will new obstacles—like a possible pregnancy—keep her trapped? Her plan to shift power in the compound could be a game-changer.

The Cult's Future : With The Highest losing control and River scheming, Season 6 could explore a leadership shake-up or the cult's collapse.

Fans on X are vocal about wanting closure, with some hoping for Tally's return or a final takedown of the cult. Others are just here for the chaos, calling the show 'insanely addictive' despite its dark themes.
