The comedy-drama series, which stars Buteau as Beaumont—a semi-fictional version of herself—centers around a Black, plus-size professional stylist who is newly single after a long-term relationship comes to an unexpected end.

The title of each episode ends with an emphatic “b-tch!”, as in, “Keep Your Plants Watered, B-tch!” or “Mind Ya Business, B-tch!”. The series is executively produced by A24’s Ravi Nandan and Alli Reich alongside Buteau and Danielle Sanchez-Witzel.

The series also stars Tone Bell, Marouane Zotti, Tasha Smith, Anissa Felix, Michelle Visage, Garcelle Beauvais, and RuPaul’s Drag Race star Peppermint as a fictionalized version of herself.

Other guest stars on the series include R&B singer Anderson .Paak, Sandra Bernhard, Deon Cole, Monét X Change, Anthony Michael Lopez, Allan K. Washington, Liza Treyger, Jerrie Johnson, Tika Sumpter, Alecsys Proctor-Turner, Jonathan Higginbotham, Michael Rishawn, Rolonda Watts, Hassan Johnson, Dan Amboyer, RonReaco Lee, Honey Balenciaga, Bevy Smith, Yves Mathieu East, and Celisse.
