The new Starz series "Run the World" is finally here.
A "Sex and the City"-esque show about four Black best friends living in Harlem, the comedy features up-and-coming actresses Amber Stevens West, Andrea Bordeaux, Bresha Webb, and Corbin Reid.
But judging from the previews, present-day Harlem is the real star.
That's no accident. "'Run the World' is a love letter to Black women and a love letter to Harlem," the show's creator and writer, Leigh Davenport, said in a statement.
Here's a look at eight iconic Harlem locations featured in the series—the comedy was filming all across the neighborhood last fall.
