Chris Rock, whose indie comedy film Top Five is currently in UK cinemas, will appear alongside R&B singer Alicia Keys and evergreen rock star Lenny Kravitz. The show has also been extended from 12 episodes to 18.
The show, created by The Butler and Precious director Lee Daniels, has become hugely popular for its blend of soapy plotlines, strong music and unblocked games online, especially in the case of Taraji P Henson’s Cookie, endlessly quotable characters. It focuses on the machinations of a family-run hip-hop record label, built from the ground up by a former gangsta rapper played by Terrence Howard – after he is diagnosed with a terminal illness, his sons and ex-wife vie to take control of the company.
Gladys Knight, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg and Rita Ora are among the real-life music stars who have appeared in the show so far. It built up a huge audience in the US, eventually netting over 23m viewers for the final episode of the first season.
