Bravo Sets Xscape Reunion Special
Bravo has greenlit a limited series chronicling the reunion of 90’s female R&B group Xscape, network officials said Thursday.
The four-part series, Xscape: Still Kickin’ It, will focus on the exploits of Xscape members Kandi Burruss, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and sisters La Tocha and Tamika Scott and they reunite for the upcoming 25 year anniversary of the group’s first album release.
Each episode will document the group as they attempt to heal past wounds and reconcile after nearly two decades apart, culminating with a performance at Essence’s 2017 Festival.
Xscape: Still Kickin’ It will be produced by Truly Original and Monami Entertainment, with Steven Weinstock, Glenda Hersh, Lauren Eskelin, Lorraine Haughton-Lawson and Thomas Jaeger, Mona Scott-Young and Stephanie Gayle serving as executive producers.
