ABC Adds Naturi Naughton as a Co-Lead on the Show "Queens"

Naturi Naughton has been reportedly given a co-lead spot on the new ABC show Queens.

What’s Happening:

Deadline has reported that Naturi Naughton was been given a co-lead role in the new ABC show Queens.
Naughton will play Jill, a founding member of the Nasty Bitches, the hip-hop group they had created back in the ‘90s. She was wild back then but is now a devout Catholic living in Montana with her husband, haunted by past secrets.
Naughton has played Luna in the Disney Channel show Doc McStuffins but is really known for her role as Tasha St. Patrick in the series Power.
Queens is written and directed by Zahir McGhee who has worked on series like Scandal, Private Practice, and was also a consulting producer on Stumptown.
The show was given a pilot order back in late January.
ABC had given a production commitment to the show back in August last year.
