TV Series. Comedy TV Series (2021-). 2 Seasons. 18 Episodes. Four stylish and ambitious best girlfriends in Harlem, New York City: a rising star professor struggling to make space for her love life; a savvy tech entrepreneur always dating someone new; a no-filter singer; and a hopeless romantic fashion designer. Together, they level up into the next phase of their careers, relationships, and big city dreams.

Renewed for a third season.

		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"A smart, sleek, and sharp comedy about living single in the city (...) [It] is a frequently hilarious treat."
		Ciara Wardlow rogerebert.com	"'Harlem' hits a sweet spot of creating flawed but empathetic characters—the core of their struggles are deeply relatable, but they are also entertainingly petty and imperfect"

		Joel Keller Decider	"'Harlem' may feel like a show that you’ve seen before, but the four stars are more than charming enough, and the writing is clever enough, to make the show stand on its own."
