Centric Revives VH1’s Recently Canceled Single Ladies
In late February, VH1 announced the cancellation of the fan favorite romantic dramedy series Single Ladies. Single Ladies was VH1’s first hour-long scripted series.
We’ve been proud to deliver three seasons of the drama, romance and style that engaged viewers in each episode of Single Ladies. Although we’ve decided not to move forward with another season, we hope to work again with the talented cast, creatives and producers as well as our partners at Flavor Unit Entertainment in the near future. We also thank the show’s fans for their support since the premiere in 2011.
Fans of Keisha, April and Raquel can rejoice! Less than two months later, the BET-owned network Centric has picked it up for a fourth season. The renewal is part of a new deal inked between the network and Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit Entertainment, which produces Single Ladies.
