An All-Black Cast Will Reimagine 'The Golden Girls' On Zoom

Alfre Woodard, Tracee Ellis Ross, Sanaa Lathan, and Regina King will share their own recreation of the iconic show The Golden Girls. The original series followed four older women as they lived together. They were always getting into trouble or doing something hilarious!

It shows the original Golden Girls transforming into Tracee, Alfre, Sanaa, and Regina. It appears that Sanaa will play Blanche, Tracee will play Rose, Regina will play Dorothy, and Alfre will play Sophia.
