As reported, the ladies that have signed up to the series (which is produced by Kandi Burruss’ husband Todd Tucker) are Countess Vaughn (‘The Parkers’), Golden Brooks (‘Girlfriends’), Elise Neal (‘The Hughleys’), Lisa Wu Hartwell (‘The Real Housewives’), and Paula Jai (‘Hustle & Flow’).

For three years, ‘Revenge’ has relayed the narrative of Emily Thorne and her quest for retribution.
