Brandy has signed on alongside Eve and Naturi Naughton:

 

Queens revolves around 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 1990s group that made them legends in the hip-hop world.

Nadine Velazquez has been cast as the fourth member of the group. Sounds like her character has become sort

of a Wendy Williams type.

I'm sorry, but no 90s hip-hop girl group would be called Nasty Bitches. That stuff didn't fly then. Nasty Bs? Maybe.

Better to call the group Xhale or 4Love or something like that. Conjures up Nineties hip-hop or R&B more to me.

I agree - I'm looking forward to this pilot tbh as it's my cup of tea, but they're trying waaaay too hard with some of the names on there.

Cast is a turn off.  

Huge Brandy and Eve fan here so I’m looking forward to this. 

Congratulations to Brandy, Eve, Naturi, Nadine, and newcomer Pepi Sonuga on their show pick up!

Lol I said the same thing.

I thought of Love & Hip Hop. A soap opera version of the reality show might be fun. 

Days Precious way joins the show. Rumored to play Brandy's daughter.

While they have similar résumés, Brandy and Eve — two icons of the aughts — didn't really know each other before signing on to ABC's new musical melodrama Queens (premiering Oct. 19). "When I came out, Brandy, you were [on Moesha]. And then when I went into TV [on Eve], Brandy went back to the music. So we would maybe see each other in passing," says the "Tambourine" rapper, seated next to her new costar and fellow UPN alum at the bar of upscale Korean-inspired steakhouse Noona, in the Atlanta suburb Duluth. "But I'm, like, her biggest fan. She's one of my faves," responds Brandy. "We had the same stylist at one point, so we crossed paths, but I just know that being here with her is a blessing." 

The women, both 42, indulged in some nonalcoholic beverages — they still have scenes to shoot today! — as they compared notes and teased what's to come on their bold new series from Scandal writer Zahir McGhee, where they play '90s musicians regaining their confidence and reclaiming the spotlight (a subject they know a little something about).
