Sanaa Lathan, who was recently Emmy nominated for her role on Succession, is set to portray the infamous "psychic" Miss Cleo in a new drama series. The series is being developed by Legendary Entertainment and will be executive produced by Lathan herself. The show will be a darkly comedic drama inspired by the true-life story of the star of the psychic pay-per-call service. It will explore how her infamous rise gave way to a contentious court case by the government involving upwards of $500M. Miss Cleo, whose real name was Youree Dell Harris, was an actress best known for portraying the spokeswoman for a psychic pay-per-call-minute service called Psychic Readers Networks in a series of commercials between 1997 and 2003. Her tagline was "Call me now!" In 2002, the Federal Trade Commission charged the company's owners with deceptive advertising, billing

and collection practices. Harris was not indicted but the people behind it agreed to settle by erasing $500M in debt from its victims and paying a $5M fine. Harris went on to voice a character in the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City computer game. She passed away in 2016. Sanaa Lathan is a talented actress who has starred in several movies including Blade, The Best Man, Love & Basketball, Disappearing Acts, and Brown Sugar. She played Alexa Woods in Alien vs. Predator and was also in The Best Man Holiday. Recently, she was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for playing Lisa Arthur in Succession. It's exciting to see Sanaa Lathan take on this role and I'm looking forward to seeing her bring Miss Cleo to life on screen. Stay tuned for more updates on this upcoming drama series!
