“Daytime Divas” is inspired by Star Jones’ 2011 book Satan’s Sisters… A Novel of Fiction set behind the scenes of a long-running daytime television show, chronicling the fireworks that erupt daily between the five female co-hosts. On screen, they are best friends with five very different points of view, but behind the scenes, they inhabit a world of power struggles, cat fights and cocktails.
Executive producers for ‘Daytime Divas’ are Josh Berman (“Drop Dead Diva,” “CSI”), Star Jones (TV personality, advocate, author & attorney), Suzanne de Passe (“The Temptations,” “Lonesome Dove”), Madison Jones, and Susan Levison. Writers for the series are Amy Engelberg and Wendy Engelberg, who also serve as executive producers. Chris Alberghini and Mike Chessler are also executive producers. Suzanne Coston serves as co-executive producer. The series is a co-production with Sony Pictures Television.
