Harlem is a show that tells the stories of Black lives. We have plenty of TV series on female friendships like Sex and the City, that tell the tales of high class successful white women living their dream lives. Harlem breaks away from that to show us the lives of four successful colored women living life on their own terms.

From the show's storylines to the offscreen crew who created the show, Harlem celebrates Black women and Black stories. The show dives into Black identities and shows us the vibrant and colorful life in the center of America's Black culture, Harlem.


Powerful female characters

Harlem is a contemporary story of Black women in a White world making their own way and striving for success at the personal and professional level. At the same time, they're redefining love and relationships.

The show brings viewers four women with dimension and complexity, exploring what it’s like to be a woman in 2021. It is relatable for every woman striving to achieve something and make a place for themselves in a world that constantly keeps pushing them down.


Tracy Oliver's comedy

Tracy Oliver is a name to be reckoned with in the world of entertainment. With record-breaking comedies like Girls Trip, First Wives Club, and other projects to her name, Oliver has made a name for herself as one of the freshest and most prominent voices in show business.

With Harlem, a goldmine of inside jokes and hilarious situations, the talented writer and producer has made it clear that she is here to stay and make it big in the world of entertainment.
