The series being touted as the world’s first dancehall lifestyle reality show, features cast members who are part of the popular dancehall subculture. Produced by LHDT Productions and filmed entirely in Canada, the series premiered initially in the Jamaican diaspora in 2020 as part of a soft launch.

Whilst the cast is relatively new in mainstream reality genre, the first season showcases the comradery and interpersonal relationships and conflicts of some of the women who are part of the indigenous underground subculture of the Dancehall lifestyle. Representing the most populous dancehall cities across the world, the cast came together from London, Toronto, New York and Kingston, Jamaica to make up the ensemble cast.

According to the creator and executive producer of the series, Heather Elliott-Whitehead, “The show has an international flavor because all the cast members reside in different countries. There’s glitz, glam, drama, grit and heart…everything that makes up a drama filled reality show. Additionally, we see this as a great opportunity to expose millions of people to the series, particularly the dialect and the indigenous way in which the cast relate to each other. This will be entertaining in a very relatable way”. Elliott-Whitehead also pointed out that this development has cemented a successful future for the franchise which is now in the process of producing a season two. She also noted that even before the first season officially aired, some cast members had exited the show, making way for a revamped ensemble for subsequent seasons.

The series is expected to do well among its key demographic. Watch the Dancehall Divas Series on Tubi.
