Film Executive Producer Queen Latifah, alongside her co-stars Phylicia Rashad, Jill Scott, Alfre Woodard, Adepero Oduye, and Condola Rashad, came out to celebrate the premiere of their Steel Magnolias remake with a viewing event and party.
Steel Magnolias Remake Premieres on Lifetime Oct. 7th
Back in July, I brought you the news that Queen Latifah was executive producing a remake of the 1989 film Steel Magnolias starring an all-black cast. The film which is being broadcast on the Lifetime network has an official premiere date of Sunday, October 7th at 9pm/8pm EST.

Last year, Lifetime Television announced that they would be remaking Steel Magnolias with an all-star African American ensemble.
