The main cast features a talented roster of Hollywood's finest leading ladies, Vanessa Williams as Maxine, Tichina Arnold as Mo, Chloe Bridges as Kibby, Camille Guaty as Nina, and Fiona Gubelmann as Heather.

Johnston signs on to play Anna, the former frumpy and frazzled assistant to Maxine. Her character returns to New York transformed into a chic and hard-hitting journalist.

The series will also feature a star-studded list of guest stars that includes Patti LaBelle, Eve, Kelly Osbourne, Tasha Smith, La La Anthony, Debby Ryan, Janet Mock, Rob Estes and Scott Evans.
