Becky G

Peacock is developing a new drama series titled ‘Queen of Flow,’ which is an adaptation of the Colombian telenovela ‘La Reina Del Flow.’ The show is a co-production between Peacock, Westbrook Studios, and Universal Television. Jorge Reyes, who served as a writer and producer on Queen Of The South, is attached to pen the script for the show.

Singer and actress Becky G is in early negotiations to lead the series. Becky G will play the role of Yeimi, a young singer-songwriter who rises to fame in the music world and finds love with the superstar scion of a powerful family. However, dark secrets are discovered about both Yeimi and the family she's made her own, setting them on a collision course towards a reckoning that could destroy them all.

The premise of the show is described as a "Count of Monte Cristo-esque tale set against the backdrop of Latin music." The show promises to be a revenge tale and music drama with a compelling story that will keep viewers glued to their screens.

Westbrook Studios Co-President, Head of Television Terence Carter and David Boorstein will executive produce on behalf of the production company alongside Tucker Tooley and Jay Weisleder for Tucker Tooley Entertainment, Eli Shibley for Major Content, Paulette Bensussen and Darah Wagner Boaz for Erik Barmack's Wild Sheep Content, and Lisette Osorio for Caracol Television.

Queen of Flow is the latest collaboration between Peacock, Westbrook Studios, and Universal Television, following the launch of the streaming service's breakout hit Bel-Air, a dramatic reimagining of the Will Smith series, The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. The show was recently picked up for a third season.

Jorge Reyes is an experienced writer who began his career writing for shows like New York Undercover, Rescue 77, and Resurrection Blvd. He is repped by CAA, Zero Gravity Management, and JTWAMM. Reyes is also currently developing a Fat Joe project with Kenya Barris at Showtime.
