The iconic Queen of Bounce Big Freedia, will return to Fuse in 2023 with a brand-new series and this time she is all business.
In “Big Freedia Means Business,” the New Orleans-born innovator of bounce music explores all of the music and entrepreneurial opportunities that have opened up to her since she was last seen in the hit docuseries “Big Freedia Bounces Back,” which remains the highest rated show in Fuse history.
This year, a whole new world of fans discovered Big Freedia when she was featured on Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul” off from “Renaissance,” which peaked at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
“Big Freedia Means Business” follows New Orleans choirboy-turned-bounce rapper Freddie “Big Freedia” Ross, Jr., as she juggles new business ventures, touring, and the ups and downs of her personal relationships. This season Freedia begins work on opening a hotel; starts a cannabis line; prepares to launch her own beauty and fragrance lines; and more. The new series will also chronicle the launch of a new album, set to drop next year.
Co-produced with the Emmy award-winning team at World of Wonder Productions, the new series will premiere in Summer 2023 on Fuse and Fuse+ in the U.S. World of Wonder and Fuse will share international streaming rights. The series will stream on World of Wonder’s WOW Presents Plus in the US in late 2023.
Fuse+ is streaming full seasons of “Big Freedia: Queen Diva” and “Big Freedia Bounces Back,” whose sixth season finale premiered November 2017.
Big Freedia released the critically acclaimed album “3rd Ward Bounce” via Asylum Records in 2018. In the summer of 2019, she debuted her limited run ice cream flavor, Big Freedia’s Bouncin’ Beignets, with Ben & Jerry’s. She has graced the cover of Billboard Magazine and was invited by Vogue Magazine to be the official host of their Instagram Live stream for the Met Gala. In October 2019, Big Freedia and Kesha released their new pop single “Raising Hell.”
“Big Freedia Means Business” is Executive Produced by Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, Freddie Ross Jr., and Paul Mays.
