Drama series Queenie gets premiere date and first-look photos from Onyx Collective

Onyx Collective has a premiere date for original drama Queenie, based on Candice Carty-Williams' bestseller. The series follows Queenie Jenkins (Dionne Brown), a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in South London, living between two cultures and fitting into neither. After a messy breakup with her boyfriend, Queenie looks for comfort in all the wrong places and begins to realize she must face the past before she can rebuild.



The series stars Samuel Adewunmi (Secret Invasion) as Frank and Bellah as Kyazike, marking the rising R&B singer's acting debut.

The eight-episode series from creator Carty-Williams is produced by Further South Productions in association with Lionsgate TV.

Queenie will air exclusively from Friday 7 June on Hulu in the US, with all episodes streaming in one go, Channel 4 in the UK and Ireland, Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other countries.

Queenie is produced by Carty-Williams, who also serves as showrunner. Non-writing executive producers are Further South's Steve November and Sarah Conroy, with Lisa Walters serving as co-executive producer and series producer.
