From video below.

R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet is coming back. Bitch, say no more. IFC has picked up Trapped in the Closet: The Next Installment to premiere sometime this year. Kelly claims to have written 32 more chapters of his "hip hopera," and in December he said he was seeking funding to make them. Kelly recently put his suburban Chicago mansion up for sale after the property went into foreclosure.

Kelly says, "The Alien is back and it has brought friends along." It's apparently "not of this Earth." IFC writes:

The premiere chapters were a suspenseful, mysterious, humorous and dramatic story, packed with cliffhangers and unexpected twists and turns. Now, Sylvester, Rufus, Cathy, Gwendolyn, Bridget, Big Man, Rosie the Nosy Neighbor, Twan and Pimp Lucius are back! This year, the crew reunites on IFC in the next installments of R. Kelly’s continuing hip hopera about a group of characters interconnected by sexual exploits, little people and a mysterious package.

There's no information on when exactly to expect the next chapter, but you better start practicing your kitchen sex now. Hands on the table. Watch an all-too-brief teaser clip from IFC below.

If this isn't enough Kelly to keep you satisfied, he has a new album and a memoir due out soon.
