The official trailer for Season 1 of Tracy Oliver's new comedy series, Harlem, just dropped from Prime Video and we finally get to see the four best girlfriends in action. It follows the group as they navigate life in Harlem, from career changes to relationship struggles, and try to take control of their futures.
The trailer opens up with the core four at the movies, establishing the love and connection they have for each other as they each go through life in the middle of Harlem. Camille (Meagan Good) is an anthropology professor trying to make the best impression at her job while struggling to find her way in the dating world. We see Angie (Shoniqua Shandai) as the no-filter, life-of-the-party member of the group cracking jokes and getting along with her fashion-designer roomie Quinn (Grace Byers). Finally, there's Tye (Jerrie Johnson) as the closed-off queer app developer who seems to have a very close relationship with Angie. She somewhat acts as the alpha of the group, vetting Camille's boyfriend before he can sit with them for lunch and looking out for her friends.
Alongside the trailer, Amazon dropped some new key art photographed by Adrienne Requel as well as a special poster from Jade Purple Brown, all of which reinforces the love shared by the four women and emphasizes their power and ambition. The pieces make them appear almost as high-status fashion models — only with a light, fun edge that only a group of best friends could have.
Alongside the main cast of four friends, Harlem stars Tyler Lepley as Ian alongside a wide range of recurring guests including Jasmine Guy as Patricia, Whoopie Goldberg as Dr. Elise Pruitt, Andrea Martin as Robin, Robert Ri’chard as Shawn, Juani Feliz as Isabela, Kate Rockwell as Ana, and Sullivan Jones as Jameson. We get a glimpse at some of these guests in the trailer, though Goldberg stands out as Camille's new department head whom she walks in on during an important phone call.
Oliver acts as the writer, director, and executive producer for the series. She is joined by executive producers Amy Poehler (Russian Doll) and Kim Lessing (Moxie) from Paper Kite, Dave Becky (True Story) from 3 Arts, and 13-time Grammy Award-winner Pharrell Williams (Hidden Figures) and Mimi Valdés (Roxanne Roxanne) from i am OTHER. Oliver is also reuniting with Malcolm D. Lee (Girls Trip) who will direct the first two episodes of the show.
