Plot Synopsis

SWV & XSCAPE: THE QUEENS OF R&B is a six-episode docuseries that follows SWV and XSCAPE, as they pull back the curtain on their personal and professional lives while preparing to hit the stage together. For more than three decades, SWV and XSCAPE have reigned supreme with chart-topping hits, showstopping performances, sold-out tours and epic breakups. Although both groups are undisputedly talented and the competition is friendly, the fan-fueled rivalry between the New York new jack swinging trio and the Atlanta hip-hop soul quartet has always been as legendary as the bands themselves. Now, as they come together for a spectacular one-night-only concert event, these seven powerful voices must juggle family and career commitments while learning to collaborate with their fiercest competitors. The ladies will take viewers on the ultimate fan experience as they reveal the inner workings of putting on a live concert and expose the discord and complex dynamics of sisterhood within singing groups -- such as the bombshell revelation of the Scott sisters' dark secret, which threatens to tear their family apart and drive a wedge between XSCAPE. From wars about set design and setlists, to epic battles over which group should headline, these women don't hold back. Each episode will capture the highs and lows of their journey as they race against a ticking clock to create a career-reigniting concert. But can these strong-willed songstresses ever reach an accord? Not before sharing their most vulnerable moments and venturing beyond business to try healing the personal hurts that stand in the way of their futures. SWV features Cheryl "Coko" Gamble, Tamara "Taj" George, and Leanne "Lelee" Lyons; XSCAPE includes Kandi Burruss, LaTocha Scott-Bivens, Tameka "Tiny" Harris, and Tamika Scott.
