Queens Coming to ABC, Hulu and Disney Plus
Queens is an upcoming Drama for ABC,HULU and Disney Plus. Its starring Model, Nadine Velazquez together with 90s hip hop and RnB icons like Eve, Naturi Naughton and Brandy Norwood.These women are on their 40s and they still looks great. They barely age from what I remember they use to look like. That’s why they will play the younger version of themselves in the flashback parts of the show.
Queens is about women in their 40s who use to be the biggest thing in music during the 90s. Most of them are now married mothers who felt like they lost their swagger.
They use to be the girl band known as Nasty Bitches. Now they are wives and mother who longs for the fame they lost after starting families.
There is a similarity with the show Girls5eva but television needs more space for women on their 40s. Actresses tend to struggle to get roles in their 40s and shows like this gives them a platform to tell stories about women their age. Both shows are about has been girl group members who decided to reform and make a comeback. There is still some difference since Girls5eva is a One-hit Wonder while the Nasty Bitches are 90s icons. So their lives are much better than the first group. Queens is more of a drama while Girls5eva is a comedy so both will have a different audience. If we can have multiple shows about Superheroes, zombies, and 30-year-old teenagers, Why can we have shows about Girl Groups?
It would be cool if in real life a girl band that broke up decades ago can be back together and have a successful comeback. Now that Girls5eva is renewed, I can see more comparison to happen. Queens may get more attention because it will air on free TV. Meanwhile, Girls5eva is only available on Peacock.
