Tichina Arnold is leveling up her game in the entertainment industry.
The renowned actress recently signed a first-look deal with the CBS studios for her imprint, Queen Light Productions.
Although her hit CBS sitcom The Neighborhood will end at the conclusion of its current eighth season, Arnold’s future is brighter than ever.
In a statement, Arnold shared her excitement about her future with the brand.
“I am extremely excited to have a first look deal with CBS Studios,” she tells Deadline. “My sister Zenay and I started a company called Queens Light, and it’s amazing to continue working creatively with a studio and team that we’ve already been part of for so long.”
“I have a few projects that I’m working on. One project I’m not going to say because the last time I said it, it happened, but it didn’t happen with me,” Arnold continued. “I’m not going to put it out there yet. But it’s a project about a very prominent woman and singer who had a very interesting life. So I’m going to revisit that, but will leave you on a cliffhanger until I can share more.”
