THE SUPREMES AT EARL’S ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT follows a trio of best friends Odette, Barbara Jean and Clarice (Uzo Aduba, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Sanaa Lathan) known as “The Supremes” who, for decades, has weathered life’s storms together through marriage and children, happiness and blues. Now, as heartbreak and illness stir up the past and threaten to destroy their friendship, Odette, Barbara Jean and Clarice see their bond put to the test as they go through their most challenging times yet.
Kyanna “KeeKee” Simone was last seen in Adam McKay’s Los Angeles Lakers-inspired HBO hit series “Winning Time.” Notable roles over the past five years include Alex Heller's The Year Between, which had its world premiere at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival, the Freeform hit series “grown-ish”, Ryan Murphy’s acclaimed FX anthology series “American Horror Story,” a recurring role as the energetic new kicker for the football team on season three of the hit drama “All American” alongside Taye Diggs and Daniel Ezra, the film Project Power, opposite Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback, the Netflix series “Chambers” opposite Uma Thurman, and Ma as the younger version of star Octavia Spencer’s character Sue Ann.
Tati Gabrielle can be seen in seasons three and four of the hit Netflix series “You” as Marienne Bellamy, as Hannah Kim in “Kaleidoscope,”, and opposite Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg in the feature film Uncharted. She is best known for her breakout role as Prudence in “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.”
One of Abigail's first roles was a recurring arc for Barry Jenkins’ The Underground Railroad, a role which Jenkins wrote for her after seeing her initial audition for the lead, but feeling she wasn't quite right for type-wise. She also appeared in the limited series “Boo, Bitch” and the independent feature Marisol.
