Meagan Good stars as Camille, a young anthropology professor at Columbia who, despite her extensive knowledge of cultures around the world, has a hard time with her own love life. “In Harlem, educated Black women are forced to navigate a playing field in which men have significantly more dating options, so it’s not that we’re desperate or thirsty, we’re dealing with a real-life man-deficit,” Good’s character proclaims in Episode 1. Also in the friend group: Tye (Jerrie Johnson), a successful creator of a queer-dating app who tends to go for Instagram models but prefers to keep vulnerability and romantic partners at arm’s length; Angie (Shoniqua Shandai), a free-spirited, confident, and outspoken singer-actress who lives rent-free; and Angie’s bestie Quinn (Grace Byers), a trust-fund baby, struggling fashion designer, and hopeless romantic.
The cast of “Harlem” includes Tyler Lepley as Camille’s ex Ian, and other recurring guests such Jasmine Guy who plays Quinn’s mother Patricia, and Whoopi Goldberg as Dr. Elise Pruitt. Besides “Harlem,” the lineup of Prime Video original series includes “Wheel of Time,” “The Boys,” “Hanna,” “Invincible,” “Good Omens,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Always Jane,” and “With Love.” Sign Up: Stay on top of the latest breaking film and TV news!
