ABC on Tuesday announced its primetime lineup for the 2021-2022 television season, including the fall debuts of hip-hop drama series Queens and Lee Daniels’ The Wonder Years reboot.
First up will be Queens on Tuesday nights. The series stars Eve, Naturi Naughton, Nadine Velazquez and Brandy as a group of women in their 40s who reunite for an opportunity to relive the fame they had as the Nasty Bi-ches — a popular hip-hop group in the 1990s, as previously reported.
In the above teaser released by ABC, the foursome discuss what it will take to perform at a big awards show after decades away from the spotlight.
