From Girls Trip writer Tracy Oliver comes a fresh look at four best girlfriends trying their best to level up their professional and romantic lives in a part of New York City that doesn't get as much love on screen.
Enter Harlem, as seen in the trailer above, a new Amazon Prime Video series starring Meagan Good as a faltering anthropology professor named Camille, Grace Byers as a wide-eyed trust-fund fashion designer named Quinn, Shoniqua Shandai as a brash, bohemian singer named Angie, and Jerrie Johnson as a guarded successful tech entrepreneur named Tye.
The trailer also teases some big guest stars like TV icons Whoopi Goldberg, Andrea Martin, and Jasmine Guy, and a possible Cousin Skeeter reunion between Good and Robert Ri'chard (who is seen here playing a stripper).

Oliver previously told EW that the idea for Harlem came from noticing prior to Girls Trip that "there just wasn't a lot of like Black female friendship stories on the air." She later noticed that the shows about women that were available painted turning 30 as the finish line for personal and professional success, which didn't resonate with her and her friends' experience. In writing the show, she thought "let's be truthful about how the thirties doesn't necessarily mean that you have it all together."
In addition to all the talent working in front of the camera, Oliver recruited Pharrell Williams and Amy Poehler as executive producers, and got Girls Trip and Space Jam: A New Legacy's Malcolm D. Lee to direct the first two episodes.
