When The Temptations premiered on NBC in November 1998, it quickly became one of the most talked-about television events of the decade. Based on Otis Williams’ autobiography, the two-night, four-hour miniseries traced the rise, struggles and legacy of one of Motown’s most influential groups. Blending The Temptations’ incredible music and real life drama, the film drew an estimated 45 million viewers and went on to win multiple awards, including an Emmy for Outstanding Directing. The mini-series will air again on MOVIES at 10:2o pm EST on Dec. 23, 2025, so it’s a great time to find out what the main cast members are up to now.
