SPOILER ALERT: This story reveals major plot points from Tuesday’s Season 1 finale of ABC’s Queens.
Although the future of ABC’s freshman series Queens is unknown, it didn’t stop stars Brandy, Naturi Naughton and Nadine Velazquez from giving fans an ending full of surprises.
First, let’s address the elephant in the room. Queens has yet to be renewed for a second season, but the Season 1 finale gives fans closure and a small little cliffhanger that leaves the door open for the story to continue.
One of the biggest surprises of the night was the return of Eve, who took a break from the series after announcing her pregnancy. She last appeared in episode 9, titled “Bars.” While she wasn’t physically on set, her character Brianna made a virtual appearance at the group’s induction into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame.
But before that celebration went down, Naomi (Brandy), Jill (Naughton) and Valeria (Velazquez) welcomed their protégé Lil Muffin (Pepi Sonuga) into the fold officially as the group’s fourth member, filling the slot left open by Brianna’s departure.
But the most magical moment of the night belongs to Naomi, who married her longtime love Eric Jones (Taylor Sele) in a gorgeous white gown, giving off major Cinderella vibes.
Brandy spoke with Deadline about Eve’s surprise appearance, Naomi’s nuptials, and a possible Season 2.
