Producer, director and creator Lee Daniels is gearing up for the highly anticipated revival of “Star.” Despite its abrupt cancellation after three seasons, “Star” left a lasting impact on its audience, who have been eagerly awaiting its return. Read more details about the news inside.

The hit series “Star” originally aired on Fox from 2016 to 2019. The show, which followed the lives of three young women navigating the treacherous waters of the music industry in Atlanta, quickly became a fan favorite due to its dynamic characters, compelling storylines, and electrifying musical performances. The series starred Ryan Destiny, Jude Demorest, Brittany O’Grady, Queen Latifah, Benjamin Bratt and Amiyah Scott.

In a recent update, Daniels revealed that the revival is very much in the works. That is, at least for one episode.

“I am working with this incredible writer to bring it back and it’s coming back,” he said in an interview reported by Blavity. “If it’s only for a movie or a pilot, a one shot it will be just that, so hopefully you guys will tune in and the studio will make it a series but for right now it’s coming back for one episode.”

Daniels talked about how he didn’t initially realize how much the show would resonate “to the world.” He noted that angry fans have come up to him in the grocery store complaining about the series’ cancellation. “I thought it was all about Empire,” he told Alexander, referencing the popularity of his other Fox series, which was set in the same universe. He also noted that the network canceling the series “really hurt” him.

Lee confirmed the writer of the revival is Jordan E. Cooper, the co-creator and showrunner of BET+’s hit series “The Ms. Pat Show,” which Daniels also produces. He also shared that the revival won’t be without its share of heartbreak, as a beloved character will meet their demise. This revelation has sparked much speculation among fans, who are both excited and anxious to see how the story will unfold.

Daniels, known for his ability to tackle complex social issues through his work, promises that the revival will continue to address the challenges faced by women, particularly women of color, in the music industry. He also hinted at exploring even more relevant themes, ensuring that “Star” remains as culturally significant and emotionally resonant as ever.

As the revival progresses, fans are eager to see how the characters have evolved and what new challenges they will face. With Daniels at the helm, the revival of “Star” is poised to be a powerful continuation of the original series. Stay tuned for more updates as this revival takes shape, promising to bring back the magic of “Star” with a fresh, yet familiar, twist.
