Starz is finally moving forward with two long-in-development series from women. Variety reports the cable network has ordered Katori Hall’s strip-club-set “P-Valley” and Rebecca Cutter’s drug drama “Hightown.” The former was originally put into development in summer 2016. The latter was first announced last November.

Based on Hall’s play “Pussy Valley,” “P-Valley” is an hour-long show about “a little-strip-club-that-could and the characters who come through its doors — the hopeful, the lost, the broken, the ballers, the beautiful, and the damned.” Hall will serve as showrunner and executive produce. Actress and music video director Karena Evans (Drake’s “In My Feelings”) has signed on to helm the first episode.

“P-Valley’s” cast includes Brandee Evans, Nicco Annan, Shannon Thornton, and J. Alphonse Nicholson.

Hall previously directed and produced the short film “Arkabutla.” She won an Olivier Award for her play “The Mountaintop,” which follows Martin Luther King Jr. on the night before his assassination. “The Blood Quilt” and “Hurt Village” are among her other playwriting credits.

Formerly called “P-Town,” “Hightown” explores the world of crime, drugs, and addiction in Cape Cod. The series sees an “irreverent” National Marine Fisheries Service officer (Monica Raymund, “Chicago Fire”) finding a body washed ashore and deciding to solve the murder, “even if the state cops want her nowhere near the case.”

Cutter is writing and exec producing the project, which will begin production in March. Her other credits include “Gotham,” “The Mentalist,” and the 2012 feature “Besties.”
