Billy Porter to Write Family Drama for Peacock

It is titled “Fruits of Thy Labor”, and the drama series follows three generations of an African American showbiz dynasty navigating their way through life, love, politics and career.

Will he cast himself on one of the roles?

Another tiresome anachronism-o-rama about how Black trans women of color saved everyone and everything. I can’t wait.

No. Also: I don't have that streaming service, and won't. Especially now.

Peacock is automatically accessible in my Comcast. Apparently that gives them 42 million users. Beyond such packages I doubt many are signing up.

PHILADELPHIA—Comcast is hoping that the adage of needing to spend money to make money proves true, as its Peacock streaming service lost a reported $914 million in 2020 while bringing in $118 million in revenue.

Maybe tranny dramas can turn this around.

Wow. The industry is literally bending over backward to give minorities so much work... regardless of qualification. It's insane.

This sounds like Tyler Perry level stuff.

I hope it starts a much needed conversation on little discussed black family entertainment dynasties.

Billy: Spend less money on frocks and more in dental care.
