Having already helped breathe new life into the classic ‘chick flick,’ ‘Steel Magnolias,’ with its 2012 made-for-TV remake, singer/songwriter/actress Jill Scott‘s bringing that same energy to the newest adaptation of one of the 90’s leading female empowerment films – ‘First Wives Club.’
The 1996 revenge comedy – which starred Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton – is being reborn in series form courtesy of BET+ (BET’s forthcoming subscription video-on-demand service). With ‘Girls Trip’ writer Tracy Oliver attached to the project, Scott reunites with her ‘Why Did I Get Married’ co-star Malik Yoba to lead an all-star cast which includes familiar names Michelle Buteau, Ryan Michelle Bathe, and more.
