BPS 238: Confessions of a First Time Showrunner with Kaye Singleton

Kaye Singleton is an award-winning writer, producer, and actress
that is well on her way to making her own footprint in this
industry, or as the much-respected Tyler Perry would say, created
her own seat at the table. As a multi-faceted creative talent, she
is committed to telling culturally authentic stories for, about,
and that explore, the beautifully diverse experiences of Black
Women.

To date, as an actress she has taken on a variety of roles on hit
shows and films. She's best known for her series regular role
beginning in Season 3 of Tyler Perry's The Oval on BET as Simone,
the beautiful, smart, and cunning wife of the Vice President of the
United States, and her Six Season recurring role as the
long-suffering, loyal - but problematic - "Josie" on Saints &
Sinners, BounceTV's #1 Show. She's also had memorable roles on
Sistas (BET), Claws (TNT), Don't Waste Your Pretty (TV One), Tales
(BET), American Soul (BET), and Dumplin (Netflix).

In 2020, Kaye secured her first production deal as a first-time
Showrunner and Creator for the highly-rated anthology series -
Covenant'' which premiered on October 14th, 2021 on AMC's allblk.
Covenant's unique take on bible stories is a stand out for the
network as it's quoted to "create a world of thrilling, suspenseful
drama where characters and stories of the bible are thrust into a
vicious dystopia of present-day, real-life situations. Each episode
will reimagine a classic story as it would take place in the modern
world - challenging viewers to examine how sacred lessons of faith
and love fit into today's society.
