Queen Latifah & Electus Team for New Female-Led Travelogue

Electus and Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit Entertainment are working together to develop a docu-style travelogue about and starring women, tentatively titled Friends in Strange Places.

The series will feature female comics and their real-life celebrity friends. Each episode will document the international travels and escapades of a pair of female stars.

The show will be executive produced by Flavor Unit’s Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere, Electus’ Chris Grant and Drew Buckley, Allison Mandell Hudson (repped by Rebel Entertainment Partners) and Randi Michel.

Said Latifah, “There are so many funny, brilliant women in this industry, and—with plenty of successful male-driven travel series out there—a comedic docu-series about sisterhood and adventure is just the type of uncharted territory we want to plant our flag in. I’m so excited to develop a show that not only elevates and highlights female comedians, but also brings them together for an amazing time that will also be a trip for viewers.”

Grant and Buckley added, “This creative provides a hilarious, unique and personal look at the power of female friendships, and we can’t imagine a more ideal partner, and consummate dynamo, than Queen Latifah and her incredible team at Flavor Unit. We’re excited to take out to the marketplace a project that brings such a fresh perspective.”
