Keke Palmer Snags Recurring Role On “Star”

Keke Palmer is booked and busy! The Scream Queens alumna is set for a recurring role on Season 2 of Fox’s hit music drama series Star.

The 24-year-old actress will play Gigi, a hot recording artist who is “ratchet and rich.” While alienating her current label, she is courted by Ayanna and the girl’s new label, Midtown records. Despite all the showy glitz, Gigi is a serious musician, looking for “good producers and bomb ass records.”

Co-created by Lee Daniels and Tom Donaghy, Star revolves around three talented young singers who navigate the music business on their road to success. The series, which is set in Atlanta, consists of original music, along with musical fantasy sequences, as dreams of the future. Twelve episodes were ordered, which premiered during the 2016–2017 television season. Queen Latifah, Benjamin Bratt, Amiyah Scott and Quincy Brown co-star.
