First Look: FOX’s New Musical Drama “STAR” Premieres On December 14
STAR [FOX]
Will “STAR” become a big hit for FOX?
It is far too early to say. We do, however, know it will receive a great opportunity to connect with viewers.
The first episode — billed as a special preview — will air after the “Empire” fall finale on December 14. Positioning after a key episode of FOX’s biggest show (and one that is also a musical drama from Lee Daniels) is the epitome of “prime.”
“Featuring a soundtrack of original music and stunning music performances, STAR follows three talented singers, desperate for a new start and with ambitions of stardom, as they navigate the cut-throat music business on their road to success,” says FOX of the new series.
“STAR” stars Queen Latifah, Benjamin Bratt, Jude Demorest, Ryan Destiny, Brittany O’Grady, and Amiyah Scott. Recognizable names like Lenny Kravitz, Naomi Campbell, and Tyrese Gibson will make guest appearances.
In advance of the December 14 premiere, FOX shared photos from the episode. Those follow:
