Congrats to Star Jones! The media maven’s book “Satan’s Sister” will be the focus of a new scripted series for VH1 in 2017.
According the press release, the one-hour program is centered on five female co-hosts of a popular daily TV talk show, ‘The Lunch Hour,’ and the fireworks that ensue each weekday when they discuss life, love, family, politics, and gossip. These five women, with very different points of view, are best friends and sisters…while they’re on TV. But behind the scenes, they are “Satan’s Sisters” — a backstage world filled with power struggles, personal demons, diva fits, love affairs, man troubles, cat fights…and cocktails.
“Satan’s Sisters” will be executive produced by Jones along with Josh Berman, Madison Jones, Susan Levison and Motown legend Suzanne DePasse.
I’m so excited that ‘Satan’s Sisters,’ which was such a fun book to write, is finally coming to the small screen,” said Star Jones. “I would be lying if I said that ‘Satan’s Sisters’ wasn’t influenced by the soap opera life of daytime TV but it is a work of fiction. All the characters are inspired, in parts, by someone I’ve worked with, worked for, interviewed, was interviewed by and/or even prosecuted.”
“Daytime TV now comments on and creates pop culture,” said Chris McCarthy, General Manager, VH1. “Star Jones’ book is the perfect project for VH1 and our partners to bring to life.”
In 2012, Jones expressed on a “Wendy Williams Show” that she would love Diana Ross or Diahann Carroll to play the role of ‘Maxine Robinson’ on the show. RC will keep you posted as this continues to develop.
