So, we know you’ve seen it… The very funny and talented Keke Palmer released the trailer as well as the first two episodes of her new show, “Southern Fried Rice,” on her KeyTV Network . While fans usually love Palmer, her new project was met with mixed reviews.
“Southern Fried Rice” follows KoKo Johnson, a Korean American adoptee raised by a Southern Black family. Johnson goes on to attend Wright University, a fictional HBCU in Atlanta and her adoptive father’s alma mater. While attending the university, she navigates the highs and lows of college while trying to find her place at a predominantly Black institution.
Palmer serves as the executive producer, while the series is the brainchild of Savannah State University graduate Nakia Stephens. Florida A&M University graduate Shayla Raq
