More about the show

“These ladies have known each other in the industry for quite a while,” says TV One executive VP of original programming and production Toni Judkins. “We aren’t creating relationships for the sake of a television show, so their actions, relationships and emotions are authentic and true to life-and it makes for a powerful narrative.”
Originally titled “Ladies of R&B,” TV One’s “R&B Divas” is filmed primarily in Atlanta, with additional shooting in Washington, D.C., New York and New Orleans. The series is produced for TV One by Thinkfactory Media. Executive producers are Adam Reed, Adam Freeman, and Leslie Greif; co-executive producers are Phil Thornton, Paul Coy Allen, Faith Evans and Nicci Gilbert.
