Deadline reports that Lauren London, Parker McKenna Posey and Karen Obilom will play the leads in Games Divas Play, BET's hour-long scripted drama series from executive producer Tracey Edmonds.
Based on the book of the same name by Angela Burt-Murray, Games Divas Play is a sexy, stylized drama about the L.A. high life, where everyone plays to win. A desperate basketball wife (London) trying to protect her family, a tenacious journalist (Obilom) struggling to rebuild a tarnished career, and a scandalous groupie (Posey) looking to become a star, find it's murder trying to stay on top.
London's Vanessa King is a loyal yet skeptical wife, who married her high school sweetheart as he was being drafted into the nation's premiere professional basketball league. Her lifestyle changed overnight as they went from college sweethearts to a power couple astride a world of money, easy sex, and glamour.

Obilom's Nia Bullock is a quick-witted, smart and savvy blogger, who gets a new job that she thinks is going to launch her long-dreamed-of journalism career. But as it turns out, this new job pulls her into the world of celebrity gossip - big names, high stakes, and never-ending scandal.
