RUN THE WORLD
Created by Leigh Davenport, who is also the co-executive producer with showrunner Yvette Lee Bowser, “Run The World” is an American comedy television series set in Harlem, the series centers on a group of friends, navigating relationships and the professional world starring Amber Stevens West, Andrea Bordeaux, Bresha Webb, and Corbin Reid, that premiered on Sunday, May 16, 2021, at 8:30 PM on Starz.
Four best friends living in Harlem strive for world domination.
“Run the World,” is a witty dramedy about four thirty-something women falling in and out of love and lust in New York.
Rounding out the show’s central foursome beyond Ella and Sondi are vivacious advertising exec Renee (Bresha Webb), constantly on the brink of divorcing her husband Jason (Jay Walker) and buttoned-up Whitney (Amber Stevens West), currently on the edge of a full-blown panic attack over the ballooning responsibility of her impending marriage to her longtime boyfriend, Nigerian doctor Ola (Tosin Morohunfola).
Each woman has her own story, motivations, and particular strengths, and paired with their corresponding actors, each character quickly becomes distinct. The differences and overlapping similarities between them all become more defined several episodes deep into the season when an ambitious sequence shows each of them in therapy with the same no-bullshit therapist they all accidentally share.
