VH1 Releases Super Trailer for “Daytime Divas” Starring Vanessa Williams

Always Smile for the Camera.

Ever since ABC’s Mistresses and Lifetime’s Devious Maids went off the air, we were worried that there wouldn’t be another female-focused, scandalous, summer dramedy to fill that void. Thankfully, Star Jones and VH1 have come to our rescue with their new series Daytime Divas.

The cabler on Thursday released the first official super trailer (below), giving viewers a first look at Vanessa Williams who will play the role of ‘Maxine’ – the creator/host of the popular talk show ‘The Lunch Hour,’ Tichina Arnold (“Survivor’s Remorse”) as ‘Mo,’ Chloe Bridges (“The Carrie Diaries”) as ‘Kibby,’ Camille Guaty (“Scorpion”) as ‘Nina’ and Fiona Gubelmann (“Wilfred”) as ‘Heather’ all of whom play co-hosts on the fictional daytime series.

Every weekday at noon, Maxine (Vanessa Williams), Mo (Tichina Arnold), Heather (Fiona Gubelmann), Kibby (Chloe Bridges), and Nina (Camille Guaty)—hosts of “The Lunch Hour,” the long-running women’s talk show—gather around the table to discuss life, love, politics, and juicy gossip.

But behind the scenes, it’s even juicier — a backstage world filled with power struggles, diva fits, and steamy affairs. Inspired by the book Satan’s Sisters… A Novel of Fiction by Star Jones, television personality, lawyer and journalist.

“Daytime Divas” is inspired by Star Jones’ 2011 book Satan’s Sisters… A Novel of Fiction set behind the scenes of a long-running daytime television show, chronicling the fireworks that erupt daily between the five female co-hosts. On screen, they are best friends with five very different points of view, but behind the scenes, they inhabit a world of power struggles, cat fights and cocktails.

The 10-episode first season of Daytime Divas premieres Monday, June 5, at 10pm on VH1.
