Many have been waiting for the Starz Original series “Run the World.” The eight-episode, half-hour series is created by Leigh Davenport (“The Perfect Find,” “Wendy Williams: The Hot Topic,” “Boomerang”) who will executive produce with Yvette Lee Bowser (“Living Single,” “black-ish,” Lionsgate’s “Dear White People”). The series is currently filming in Harlem and is produced by Lionsgate Television.

“Run the World” gives us a glimpse into the lives of three young Black women Amber Stevens West (“The Carmichael Show”) as “Whitney Green,” Andrea Bordeaux (“NCIS: Los Angeles”) as “Ella McFair,” Bresha Webb (“Marlon”) as “Renee Ross” and Corbin Reid (“Valor”) as “Sondi Hill,” accompanied by bustling scenes of Harlem and Manhattan.

“Run the World” is being described as the story of a group of Black women – vibrant, fiercely loyal best friends. At its core, it’s an unapologetically female show about enviable friendship and not only surviving – but thriving together.
