‘Run the World’ Preview
“Run the World” tells the story of four best friends who are Black women living in New York City. These “vibrant, fiercely loyal best friends … work, live, and play in Harlem as they strive for world domination,” according to the press release, which continues, ” At its core, it’s an unapologetically female show about enviable friendship and not only surviving – but thriving together.”
“Run the World” stars Amber Stevens West, Andrea Bordeaux, Bresha Webb, Corbin Reid, Tosin Morohunfola, and Stephen Bishop, and is created and written by “Boomerang” writer Leigh Davenport.
The premiere episode is titled “Phenomenal Women” and its description reads, “Failed novelist Ella McFair starts her first day at HotTeaDigest.com and enlists her friends to help her cover her first assignment.”
So far, the critics are raving about it. The A.V. Club writes that the show “centers on the towering burdens placed upon Black women by society, within the Black community, and of course, the expectations they place upon themselves” and calls it “honest, witty, and at times heartbreaking.”
The Hollywood Reporter says that the show “marries aspirational gloss with emotional groundedness to familiar but appealing effect” and that “a sense of solidarity unites the friends, which is only enriched by the cast’s energetic chemistry.”
“Run the World” airs Sundays at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on Starz.
