Production

[edit]

Development and casting

[edit]

In August 2015, Fox announced it had ordered a pilot for a potential new musical drama series titled Star from Empire-creator Lee Daniels about three girls forming a girl group.[25] In October that same year, casting for the series began.[26] It was revealed that the series would feature a transgender character. On December 7, 2015, it was announced that Queen Latifah had joined the cast as Carlotta, Jude Demorest as Star, Brittany O'Grady as Simone and Ryan Destiny as Alexandra and Amiyah Scott as Cotton.[27] On December 11, 2015, it was confirmed that Benjamin Bratt has joined the cast as Jahil, a talent manager.[28] On December 14, 2015, Darius McCrary joined the series as the abusive foster father of Simone (O’Grady).[29] Production for the pilot began in December 2015.[26] The series was picked up, with a 12-episode order, on April 27, 2016.[1] On October 9, 2017, FOX ordered an additional five episodes for the second season, bringing the season total to 18 episodes.[30] On September 11, 2018, it was announced that Terrence J and Lyndie Greenwood are set to recur in season 3.[31]

Filming

[edit]

On May 4, 2016, it was announced that Charles Murray would serve as showrunner during its first season.[32] On September 13, 2016, it was announced that Charles Pratt Jr. would replace Murray as the series' showrunner, following his decision to depart the series, due to creative differences.[33][34]

Following the conclusion of the show's first season, Pratt stepped down as showrunner and was subsequently replaced by Karin Gist.[35]

Cancellation and possible revival

[edit]

After the series was canceled by Fox in May 2019, fans began a #SAVESTAR campaign on social media platforms. Multiple petitions were created on websites such as change.org to save the show from cancellation, and these petitions have collectively gained over 100,000 signatures. On May 29, show creator Lee Daniels made an Instagram post saying "Fighting guys! Will know this week... or top of next!" [36] The Hollywood Reporter reported that cable networks BET and OWN were possible contenders for picking up the show.[citation needed] However, on May 31, Daniels made another Instagram post stating that despite his efforts, he was not able to find another home for the show.[37]

In July 2019, Lee Daniels posted on his Instagram account that Star will receive a proper finale through a two-hour movie event.[38]

In February 2024, Lee Daniels responded to a lengthy viral social media post by Zoie Fenty, known popularly as @iamzoie, who expressed strong interests in the shows return due to the season finale being cut short without a resolve [quoting: "I NEED STAR BACK BECAUSE BAYYYYYY THE WAY I WAS INVESTED[.]” ]. Many other commenters expressed the same over the years and made many post about the untimely cancellation. Lee stated on his post: "Love you for this. It is being written. I appreciate everybody's love! It's just taken me FOREVER cause I have other projects…It's crazy, I had NO IDEA when I created this show the response would be like this. #grateful."[39] Also in an Instagram post made by Daniels himself in March 2024 while explaining about the challenges of completing his upcoming 2024 supernatural horror film The Deliverance, he hinted once again at STAR potential return stating "...and then I gotta worry about STAR, I gotta put a writer's room together so I could keep y'all off my ass about STAR...it's crazy."

At the end of July 2024, during an Instagram live discussion with Sasha Alexander on her video log "#convosandcoffee" while promoting the film The Deliverance, he provided an update to STAR as many viewers flooded the comment section about the series, interrupting the interview. He expressed that he was amazed at the enormous response from people who stopped him at grocery stores who at times were verbally angry with him asking why was STAR cancelled. He acknowledged that is wasn't his doing to get the series axed, it was FOX studios as he had more plans for the series to grow mentioning "Just as I was getting into my mojo and groove, it gets cancelled". While he also felt, that he had thought EMPIRE was a 'big hit ticket' that seemed to be more popular, but didn't realize how STAR resonated with many viewers. Lee assured that it is still in the works as he has a writer working on it as of the present moment of the Instagram live. He stated it may come in the form as a pilot or one episode television movie, unless picked up by a network. He lastly confirmed "It is coming..so please relax!"

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds a rating of 35%, with an average rating of 4.19 out of 10 based on 37 reviews.
