Brandy Norwood, best known by the stage name Brandy, has signed on for one of the lead roles in the ABC drama pilot "Queens."
The pilot is about four estranged and out-of-touch women in their 40s who reunite for a chance to recapture their fame and regain the swagger they had as the Nasty Bitches – their '90s group that made them legends in the hip-hop world.
Brandy will play Naomi, better known as Xplicit Lyrics — the highly skilled musical engine of the Nasty Bitches. A true artist with boundless musical talent, Naomi was certain she'd go on to mainstream success after the group's demise. She hasn't, singing and playing her guitar in crappy dive bars where all people want is her old persona. When the group gets back together, Naomi is reunited with the only man she ever loved, and the rival bandmate who stole that man from her. But what Naomi wants more than anything is to build a relationship with the daughter she was never really there for, if she only knew how.

So that is what she's filming in Atlanta
BITCHHHHHH
hopefully she ditches the game altogether (if that was even true)
Omg!
This sounds really cute. She'll be able to sing and it's not a comedy.
Oh, this is the ghetto show that STEve is in huh?
That "Nasty Bitches" band name gotta go though.

As for the premise of the show, glad its not a comedy. Sounds a lil corny though (Explicit Lyrics / Nasty Bitches) - almost like a Star premise. But we'll see. I can see why she shed dem lbs.

Oh wait! The girls will def tune in.
Brandy can still do the game. Reese witerspoon starred in 3 shows in the like the same year.
B8 coming out in 2028 y'all.
Not Nasty Bitches :dead:
Two fucking tv shows and one of them on a major broadcast network! :wub: Hopefully the pilot is a success so it gets picked up for a full season.
That is awesome! When I heard about it when Eve was announced I thought of how perfect it was for Brandy.
Not a bitch called naomi
Is Syrai somehow a part of this? She been glammed up quite a bit in ATL. Hmm.
Syrai said on her live yesterday that Brandy had a long work day the next day and I was wondering what it was. I just assumed it was the voice

In her most recent interview she said it won't even be a two year break. She knows she focused way too much on acting during those 8 years

I hope this works out for Naturi as well. She really deserves this and they all can pull from their own person ups n downs
Now they're all winning in their own way
:scrumptious:
I love seeing Alexis Fields in the comments. I hope she guest stars or something, she's so damn good
this actually sounds good AF
lemme jump in the writers' room :ohwow:
I think this will get picked up. Naturi and Kwee are such survivors. Both have been counted out and keep grabbing checks. If this gets picked up for a prime time Sunday slot :plzstop:

Otherwise i don't see any negatives here. Bran is hungry

Now Rig, u and I know!! Brandy said this during the 2/11 era too about not stopping and the wait not being a 4 yr wait again. And she was right - it was 8.
I do think she's in a better place now though. I know she'll be working on original music for this show, but I'd assume it'd be more hip hop, Bran Nu, kinda records. I'm not hanging onto a thread when it comes to her 8th album, but its dope to see her in the spotlight and at least we'll hear more from her with this film.
Her new management team is amazing! Thats for sure.
It will be directed by a Black man as well

lil piggy sounds like a pitch that never made it
QuoteWhen the group gets back together, Naomi is reunited with the only man she ever loved, and the rival bandmate who stole that man from her. But what Naomi wants more than anything is to build a relationship with the daughter she was never really there for, if she only knew how.

I forgot about Piggy lol
This is such a great look for Brandy. I love everything about the premise. I just hope its not like Empire/Starz
I know streaming is big but I love that it's on network tv because Brandy has never had a show on a major network. Even if the show is mediocre, if they market it correctly to black audiences it will be successful.

I don't think it's possible for them not to make announcements they do that for every pilot. For the record, This little piggy filmed their pilot a lot of people from this board went to the taping.ABC passed on it but NBC for a time was considering grabbing it.

seems like they know it can't go on much longer for whatever reason but they they wanna be fair to the fans/supporters and give the story a proper ending

EXCLUSIVE: Nadine Velazquez has been tapped as the co-lead opposite Brandy, Eve and Naturi Naughton in Queens, ABC's hourlong pilot from Zahir McGhee, Sabrina Wind and ABC Signature.In Queens, written by McGhee and directed by Tim Story, four estranged and out-of-touch women in their 40s — Naomi (Brandy), Jill (Naughton), Brianna (Eve) and Valeria (Velazquez) — reunite for a chance to recapture their fame and regain the swagger they had as the Nasty Bitches – their '90s group that made them legends in the hip-hop world.
Velazquez plays Valeria, aka Butter Pecan. Better known in the 90s as Puerto Rican rapper, Butter Pecan, Valeria is the fourth member of the hip-hop group, the Nasty Bitches. Valeria wasn't an original member, added by the groups' manager, Eric, for her effortless star quality. It worked. The ladies catapulted into superstardom with a number-one record and iconic video. Valeria quickly became the face of the group, ruffling the other members' feathers along the way. But she could care less. She's not here for friends, she's here to win. Valeria is an ambitious and ruthless hustler with cunning charm born out of a difficult childhood. When we catch up with her twenty years later, she's the only member of the group still in the limelight. Valeria hosts The Shade — America's top-rated morning talk show. So, Valeria has no reason to reunite with the group when the opportunity arises. However, when her blind ambition trips her up, Valeria considers turning back to the only family she's ever had: the Nasty Bitches.
Pepi Sonuga co-stars in the pilot. McGhee, Story and Wind executive produce. ABC Signature, part of Disney Television Studios, is the studio.
Velazquez wrote and is set to star/produce La'Tina, a series in the works at Showtime from Will Smith's Westbrook Studios and Frankie Shaw's Our Lady Productions.
She is probably best known for her breakout lead role as Catalina on NBC's My Name Is Earl. She co-starred in the History series Six and in Universal's Ride Along 2. Her series credits also include major roles on FX's The League, the CW's Hart of Dixie and TNT's Major Crimes. Velazquez is repped by LINK Entertainment and Abel Lezcano at Del Shaw Moonves.https://deadline.com/2021/03/nadine-velazquez-abc-hip-hop-drama-pilot-queens-1234709580/amp/?fbclid=IwAR0wqsdT-zVdWKPrVJi6h0lqzZLlFB5917CpVTGSnRTug40FIqtUne-9ntE

I'm only familiar with Nadine from the movie Flight and when she guest starred in Real husbands of hollywood (which she was really fun in). The cast is really promising.

you do know her acting in a show isn't her real life? she's not gonna join a singing group anytime soon. thats like blaming her for playing someone who has sex on the first date when she advocated for the opposite in "no such thing as too late". and maybe we also should've called her out for doing the "I wanna be down" cypher with Teyana etc. cause that's sort of a group?

I hope she's not going to a major label. She done more than fine without it.
So will we be getting independent music before the show or na? That what I wanna know....
No speculation

With Mama Sonja back in charge I don't think Bran would sign to a major label. I believe she would be required to give up masters and/or publishing and there's no way Mama Sonja is going for that. Plus, I think the industry standard now is a 360 deal since labels are claiming they are not making as much money as in the past.
I listened to clips of Mama Sonja's Clubhouse session from Tuesday and that woman is still so brilliant. Sy'Rai was commenting about how she will be the family lawyer to protect them.

1st day of shooting is today per the Nadine Vasquez IG.
https://twitter.com/BrandyLegion/status/1371553970234265606
Hopefully it gets picked up and I think May is when the networks decide to pick up a show. Bran as a lead, likely EP, and original music on an ABC show is a big deal.
Go, GHAN!
Small update on Queens
"Drama Queens, headlined by Brandy, Eve, Naturi Naughton, Nadine Velazquez and Pepi Sonuga, also has been an early standout. While I hear an early cut did not quite deliver on the very high expectations set by the script and A-list casting, the pilot still remains the one to beat on the drama side."

I think this is the month the networks choose what they'll order for the Fall. I hope the girls at least get a half a season order then once it airs they kill it with the ratings and get a full season.
