After months of teasing, ABC‘s new series ‘Queens‘ premiered on Tuesday night, and a weeks-long worth of promotion from the cast including Brandy, Eve, Naturi Naughton, and Nadine Velazquez, it appears that all the hard work has paid off.
The hit series follows a group of former female rappers from the 90s who found mega-success with their debut album before internal drama caused the group to disband. The ladies have reunited for a one-night-only performance that turns into a full-on reunion that will surely be filled with drama, as they navigate their lives and careers 20 years after their initial height of success.
The series apparently translated well with viewers as according to reports, the premiere brought in very commendable numbers. According to reports, the ladies brought in close to 2 million viewers for their pilot episode:
In the latest TV show ratings, NBC’s The Voice this Tuesday drew 6.5 million viewers and a 0.6 rating, dropping sharply (and conspicuously so?) in the demo yet still leading the night in total audience; read our recap.It’s Our 2022 Renewal/ Cancellation Scorecard!Launch List
Leading out of that, La Brea (5 mil/0.5, read recap) again held steady in audience but dipped a tenth in the demo. New Amsterdam (3.5 mil/0.3) also ticked down in the demo.
Over on ABC, The Bachelorette (2.8 mil/0.7, TVLine reader grade “B-“) was down from its June cycle’s premiere (3.8 mil/1.0) but still led Tuesday in the demo. Leading out of that, Queens debuted to 1.8 mil/0.4 (and a TVLine reader grade “B+”).
Kudos to the ladies on an amazing start!
In addition to stopping by ‘The Breakfast Club’ (as we shared HERE) to promote the show, they also hit up GMA this week to dish on the series.
Vibe magazine also did a special mock cover of the fictional group, to celebrate the premiere and we’re so here for it.
