STARZ<\/a><\/strong> announced today that Tika Sumpter<\/strong> (Sonic the Hedgehog 2, \u201cMixed-ish\u201d), Comedian CP<\/strong> (\u201cDetroiters,\u201d \u201cOle Bud’s Anu Football Weekly\u201d) and Isha Blaaker<\/strong> (A Madea\u2019s Homecoming, \u201cThe Flight Attendant\u201d) will be joining the cast of STARZ\u2019s hit comedy series \u201cRun the World\u201d<\/strong> in recurring roles. Cree Summer<\/strong> (\u201cBetter Things,\u201d \u201cQueen Sugar\u201d) and Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins<\/strong> (\u201cDear White People,\u201d Bad Hair) will guest star in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series follows a group of smart, funny and vibrant thirty-something Black women \u2013 fiercely loyal best friends \u2013 who live, work and play in Harlem. \u201cRun the World\u201d exemplifies STARZ\u2019s #TakeTheLead commitment to spotlighting diverse voices and stories that reflect a full spectrum of women both in front of and behind the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tika Sumpter<\/strong> will recur as \u201cNaomi,\u201d the biological mother of Amari who has returned home from the Navy. With the assertiveness of a military officer, she immediately reclaims her position in Amari\u2019s life, leaving Sondi to question her place in this new family dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comedian CP<\/strong> will recur as \u201cPreston Thurgood,\u201d the multi-millionaire creator of Prestify, who has no need to put on airs. His hilarious, down-to-earth personality is plenty to get Renee\u2019s attention; however, his lavish lifestyle certainly won\u2019t hurt his case. Preston could give Renee everything she\u2019s ever wanted, but is Preston the true love of her life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isha Blaaker<\/strong> will recur as \u201cPhillip Houston,\u201d Whitney\u2019s business school rival who has returned from London fresh off a breakup of his own. His sexy British arrogance has Whitney flustered and their chemistry runs high. Now that they\u2019re both single, Phillip is certainly interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cree Summer<\/strong> will guest star as \u201cDr. Monica Mitchell,\u201d the ladies\u2019 wise and trusting new therapist. She allows Whitney, Renee and Sondi to pick up right where they left off with their retired therapist, Dr. Nancy. Dr. Monica\u2019s direct, honest and personal approach allows the ladies to open up and navigate their relationship woes, as well as admit that they were kind of over getting advice from a white woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins<\/strong> will guest star as \u201cIndia Blue,\u201d a beautiful, confident, cool and incredibly successful singer\/songwriter\/producer. India has been working closely with Jason and is now looking to move this \u201ccollaboration\u201d into something more, despite Renee and Jason\u2019s prior relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
