The actress recently starred in Pitch, as Ginny Baker, a pitcher who becomes the first female in the MLB. The show was canceled after its first season. Bunbury responded to the canceling on Instagram stating that it was a role she “wasn’t ready to let go” including its cast and crew.
The original Get Christie Love! aired from 1974 to 1975, starring Teresa Graves, as an African-American undercover cop. Graves made history as the first African-American female in a lead role on a network TV drama. It remained that way until Kerry Washington debuted as Olivia Pope on Scandal in 2012. The reboot will have Power creator, Courtney A. Kemp as its showrunner and actor Vin Diesel serve as an executive producer.
We can’t wait to see Kylie get those folks “under arrest, sugar.”
