TV One’s NAACP Image Award-winning “Unsung” series is returning. What’s even more exciting is that the docu-series highlighting some of black Hollywood’s most influential stars has expanded its franchise to Los Angeles.
“Unsung Hollywood” kicks off its premiere episode on Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 10 p.m. EST highlighting feminist and film icon Pam Grier.
“Taking a cue from the original, music-centric Unsung series, Unsung Hollywood fosters TV One’s overarching mission to highlight black artists, entertainers and programming,” said D’Angela Proctor, SVP of programming and production for TV One. “’Unsung Hollywood’ recounts the achievements of some of the most beloved and groundbreaking artists in the African American creative community — all of whom have devoted their lives to making their mark in movies, television, comedy and sports — and in the process, have helped elevate and transform the entertainment experience.”
