Eve, Brandy Drama 'Queens' Canceled at ABC

It looks like the royal reign of Queens is over. Starring Eve, Brandy and Naturi Naughton, the ABC melodrama won't be coming back for a Season Two. The news comes after the series got off to a promising start in fall 2021, only to start to dwindle in ratings by the end of its first season in February. The show boasted major star-power, with artists like Remy Ma and Cam'ron guest-starring and Swizz Beatz serving as music supervisor.

Series creator Zahir McGhee tweeted the news on Friday (May 6).

“So.. got word today that we won’t be continuing with #QueensABC," he wrote. “While the news is disheartening because of the tremendous work hundreds of people put into the show, I’m grateful for what was an incredible journey with so many talented people. I’m proud of the stories we told, the incredible music we made and what our show looked like in front and behind the camera.

“To Eve, Brandy, Naturi, Nadine, Taylor and Pepi – thank you. I never could have imagined that I’d get to work alongside so many current and future legends. Dreamy stuff. Endless gratitude to my partners at ABC for supporting the show until the end. Lastly, MAJOR love to the Queens fans. You are the absolute best and I’m bummed that we don’t get to spend any more Tuesday nights together. However, the show lives forever. The music lives forever. In short, #QueensForever.”
