![[VIDEO] Watch 'Daytime Divas' Series Premiere -- Opening Scene](https://tvline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/andy_final.jpg?w=250&h=250&crop=1)
Don’t let their smiles fool you — the Daytime Divas are out for blood. (And I wish I was speaking metaphorically.)
VH1’s new scripted drama stars Vanessa Williams as veteran media personality Maxine Robinson, whose daytime talk show The Lunch Hour — in which she and four unlike-minded co-hosts discuss life, love and current events — is hitting its tenth year, with backstage tensions at an all-time high. (Sound familiar?)
Ahead of the Divas’ June 5 debut (10/9c), TVLine has an exclusive sneak peek of the premiere’s first eight minutes, which find Maxine and her co-hosts — comedian Mo Evans (Everybody Hates Chris‘ Tichina Arnold), child star Kibby Ainsley (Pretty Little Liars‘ Chloe Bridges), Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nina Sandoval (Happyland‘s Camille Guaty) and conservative icon Heather Flynn Kellog (Wilfred‘s Fiona Gubelmann) — stripping down to their swimwear for a “very special” segment.
And as the clothes come off, the claws come out.

I’ll give this new show a try. But what is it supposed to be a soap opera or a comedy?
Campy soap it seems.

Oh this is so my new series. Looks fantastic! Glad to be watching Vanessa Williams again.
Video doesn’t work. Closes out every time after making you an ad. Frustrating.
