Trapped in the Closet, a series of music videos by R Kelly that defined the "hip-hopera" genre, is to return after a five-year hiatus. The series will return to the US cable channel IFC on 23 November for a 20-episode run. In the two hours leading up to the premiere, the network will air the digitally remastered original saga in full.
In Trapped in the Closet, Kelly plays Sylvester, who in the first episode cheats on his wife, Gwendolyn, with a woman named Cathy. Cathy pushes him into a closet, setting off a chain of reactions that rely mostly on the cast's inability to stay faithful to each other.
