VH1’s new scripted series “Daytime Divas” premieres on the network on June 5, 2017 at 9/8c.

Inspired by the book “Satan’s Sisters… A Novel of Fiction” by Star Jones, the synopsis for “Daytime Divas” reads: Every weekday at noon, Maxine (Vanessa Williams), Mo (Tichina Arnold), Heather (Fiona Gubelmann), Kibby (Chloe Bridges), and Nina (Camille Guaty)—hosts of “The Lunch Hour,” the long-running women’s talk show—gather around the table to discuss life, love, politics, and juicy gossip. But behind the scenes, it’s even juicier — a backstage world filled with power struggles, diva fits, and steamy affairs.

Vanessa Williams, Tichina Arnold, Chloe Bridges, Camille Guaty, Fiona Gubelmann and McKinley Freeman star. Previously announced guest stars include Kristen Johnston, Norm Lewis, Patti LaBelle, Eve, Kelly Osbourne, Tasha Smith, La La Anthony, Rob Estes, Scott Evans, Debby Ryan, Janet Mock, Star Jones, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Jedediah Bila and Sara Haines, as well as Richard T.
