UNDUNN With Ashley Dunn Ashley Dunn

“Queenie” the series is based on the best-selling novel by Candice Carty-Williams. Queenie follows the story of Queenie Jenkins a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in south London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. After a messy breakup with her long-term boyfriend, Queenie seeks comfort in all the wrong places and begins to realize she has to face the past head-on before she can rebuild.

 

I recently caught up with “Queenie” Author and Executive Producer Candice Carty-Williams, along with stars Dionne Brown who plays “Queenie” and Bellah who stars as “Kyazike”. We discussed this relatable and funny coming-of-age story and what it took to get this brilliant story told. I spoke with Queenie stars Dionne and Bellah about their roles and Candice shared with me what she hopes viewers will feel after watching “Queenie”.



Created by Candice Carty-Williams, “Queenie” is executive produced by Carty-Williams, who will also serve as showrunner. Non-writing executive producers are Further South’s Steve November and Sarah Conroy, with Lisa Walters as co-executive producer and series producer. The series is produced by Further South Productions in association with Lionsgate TV.

All 8 episodes of “Queenie” will debut on June 7th on Hulu.
