In its first season on FOX, Lee Daniels and Tom Donaghy’s Star TV show was a top-five performer for the network. Was it just a beneficiary of the Empire co-creator’s shine and beginner’s luck, or does this sophomore TV series have perfect pitch? Will Star be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A FOX musical drama, Star stars Queen Latifah, Benjamin Bratt, Jude Demorest, Ryan Destiny, Brittany O’Grady, Amiyah Scott, Quincy Brown, and Miss Lawrence. The show follows three young talents as they navigate the cut-throat music business, on their road to success. With Carlotta (Latifah) as their new manager, and a deal with Midtown Sound, Star (Demorest), Alexandra (Destiny) and Simone’s (O’Grady) lives will never be the same. Meanwhile, Cotton (Scott) is out of prison, and Derek (Brown) and Alexandra have to come to terms with the fact that he may not walk again, while Jahil’s (Bratt) fate remains uncertain.
