The four women belong to a female hip-hop group. For 20 years, they were estranged from each other and must now work together to regain the former swagger that saw them become renowned hip-hop stars.

Brandy plays the character Naomi, also known as Xplicit Lyrics, while Eve portrays Brianna, aka Professor Sex. Naughton stars as Jill, aka Da Thrill, while Velazquez will portray Valeria, aka Butter Pecan.

When the opportunity came for the female group to reunite, Eve's character grapples with whether or not she possesses the swagger and confidence she once had.

Deadline also confirmed Taylor Selé would star in the upcoming series, playing the character Eric Jones. Pepi Sonuga will also play a role portraying the character Lil Muffin.

Zahir McGhee wrote the series and executive produces it with Sabrina Wind and Tim Story. McGhee will also direct the pilot episode. Fans can watch the "Queens" premiere on ABC this fall.
