Sistas Season 9 Episode 12 Is Almost Here: Release Date, Exact Time, and Where to Watch

Heads up, Sistas fans: the next episode is basically here, and yes, we are picking up right where that wild cliffhanger left us. Karen walked out, left the baby in the crib, and vanished. Subtle? Not at all. Effective? Absolutely.

When does Episode 12 drop?

Season 9, Episode 12 is titled 'Search Party' and it airs Wednesday, October 8, 2025. You can watch it at 6:00 p.m. PT or 9:00 p.m. ET. Per the season schedule, this one continues directly from Episode 11 ('Surprise, Surprise'), so expect everyone to be in full scramble mode after Karen disappears.

Where to watch

You can watch 'Search Party' on BET. The network sits under the Paramount Media Networks umbrella and packs a steady lineup of series and movies. If you are already in BET or BET Plus mode, this lives alongside staples like The Oval, Tyler Perry's Assisted Living, Ms. Pat Settles It, and House of Payne.

Quick refresher on Sistas

'Sistas' is Tyler Perry's comedy-drama about a tight circle of Black women in Atlanta trying to juggle work, friendship, and the chaos of dating apps and real life. It premiered October 23, 2019, and the core cast includes KJ Smith, Mignon, Ebony Obsidian, Novi Brown, Crystal Renee Hayslett, Angela Beyince, Devale Ellis, Chido Nwokocha, and more.

'There’s nothing that bonds a group of single black women together more than sidestepping the land mines of living, working and dating in Atlanta. In a sea of swipe-lefts, social media drama and unrealistic #relationshipgoals, these friends try to find their Mr. Right.'

Bottom line: 'Search Party' is exactly what it sounds like. Given that Episode 11 literally ended with a missing mom and a crib, this is the one you watch live if you can.
