Queen Latifah is teaming with Electus to develop a travel documentary series, according to Variety.
The series is entitled Friends in Strange Places and will highlight the adventures that a set of female comedians and their famous friends have all over the world.
โThere are so many funny, brilliant women in this industry, andโwith plenty of successful male-driven travel series out thereโa comedic docuseries about sisterhood and adventure is just the type of uncharted territory we want to plant our flag in,โ Latifah said. โIโm so excited to develop a show that not only elevates and highlights female comedians but also brings them together for an amazing time that will also be a trip for viewers.โ
Latifah will executive-produce along with Shakim Compere, co-founder of her company, Flavor Unit Entertainment. Chris Grant and Drew Buckley will executive-produce for Electus, with Allison Mandell Hudson and Randi Michel also executive-producing.
โThis creative provides a hilarious, unique and personal look at the power of female friendships, and we canโt imagine a more ideal partner, and consummate dynamo, than Queen Latifah and her incredible team at Flavor Unit,โ Grant and Buckley said. โWeโre excited to take out to the marketplace a project that brings such a fresh perspective.โ
So whoโs going to be among the jet set? Maybe MoโNique, Tiffany Haddish or Wanda Sykes?
