Queenie is coming soon to Hulu. The Onyx Collective announced the premiere date for the new drama with the release of several first-look photos.
Starring Dionne Brown, Bellah, and Samuel Adewunmi, the series is based on the novel and created by Candice Carty-Williams. The drama tells the story of a young Jamaican woman trying to rebuild her life after realizing she had made wrong choices.
Hulu shared more about the series in a press release.
Today, Onyx Collective announces the original drama “Queenie,” based on the bestselling novel by Candice Carty-Williams, is set to premiere June 7 on Hulu, with all episodes streaming at once.
From creator Candice Carty-Williams, the eight-episode series is produced by Further South Productions in association with Lionsgate TV and will stream exclusively on Hulu in the U.S., Channel 4 in the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland, and Disney+ in all other territories.
The series stars Dionne Brown as the titular lead role of Queenie, Samuel Adewunmi as Frank, and Bellah as Kyazike, marking the rising R&B singer’s acting debut.
Queenie Jenkins is a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in south London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. After a messy breakup with her long-term boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places and begins to realize she has to face the past head-on before she can rebuild. The series is based on the best-selling novel by Candice Carty-Williams.
Created by Candice Carty-Williams, “Queenie” is executive produced by Carty-Williams, who will also serve as showrunner. Non-writing executive producers are Further South’s Steve November and Sarah Conroy, with Lisa Walters as co-executive producer and series producer.
