In your first look of the series, which follows the six divas as they reign supreme and take control of their careers to produce and star in a new serialized drama, fans of the actresses can expect to see plenty of drinking, glass throwing, shade and much more. All of which has become a staple in reality programming.
“’Queens of Drama’ features a powerful, all-star cast of soap’s leading ladies, while tapping into the sensibility of female empowerment, taking charge and having it all,” said Paul Adler, Senior Vice President, Programming, Pop, in a statement announcing program’s launch. “We’re excited to give fans a new perspective of these women with a reality series that debuts immediately following Pop’s exclusive live broadcast of the Daytime Emmys.”
A production of ThinkFactory Media, with Adam Reed, Adam Freeman, Aaron Fishman, Tim Laurie, and Leslie Greif, serving as Executive Producers, “Queens of Drama” moves to its regularly scheduled time period of Wednesdays at 8:00 PM, ET/PT, beginning Wednesday, April 29.
The half-hour series, which received a 10-episode order from Pop, will also feature a guest appearance by Dame Joan Collins (“Dynasty”) in one of the episodes.
