The Daniels and Tom Donaghy produced show follows three young singers (Jude Demorest, Ryan Destiny, and Brittany O'Grady) navigating the cutthroat music business with the hopes of becoming stars. McCrary will play Otis Leecan, "a nasty piece of work who's obsessed with his foster daughter, Simone (O'Grady)" and will do "everything in his power to drag her back from Atlanta after she runs away." The character is said to be clever, manipulative, and dangerous, but he may have met his match in Simone and her sister, Star (Demorest).
Other actors appearing in Star include Queen Latifah, Naomi Campbell, Lenny Kravitz, and Tyrese Gibson. Former Y&R head writer Charles Pratt Jr. serves as showrunner.
