Foxy BrownPam Grier teases a
Published on January 15, 2026 EDT In addition to the musical, Grier is busier than ever with a project based on her incredible life story and a starring role in "Them: The Scare."

Don't mess aroun' with Foxy Brown, she's the meanest chick in town! And she'll sing the house down.

The legendary Pam Grier Ph.D stopped by The Jennifer Hudson Show where she teased a musical adaptation of her 1974 Blaxploitation classic Foxy Brown.

"We're going to be doing Foxy Brown also as a musical," Grier announced, though she didn't elaborate much, leaving one to wonder if the rapper Foxy Brown will somehow be involved...she won't be.

Grier then also shared that a studio is producing a seven-episode limited series based on her 2010 memoir, Foxy: My Life in Three Acts. The series will detail her relationships with basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabar, and the comedians Freddie Prinze and Richard Pryor.

"It can't be a seven hour movie, but it's going to be a [limited] series like the series I'm promoting today, Them, so it'll be seven episodes, shot like a film," the actress explained.

Last year, Grier sat down with Entertainment Weekly to discuss her most iconic roles, from Coffy to Foxy Brown to Jackie Brown. Written and directed by Jack Hill, Foxy Brown was similar to the previous year's Coffy, also by Hill, as both dealt with its titular heroine seeking revenge against drug dealers.

"Foxy was strategically more radical and aggressive," Grier told EW. "I wanted to show that side of womanhood. My aunt basically was a Foxy Brown — she rode a Harley, she wanted to be an architect, and she was beautiful. She was way ahead of her time."

Grier, too, was ahead of her time. Because she suffered a number of injuries while filming her earlier movies (including Foxy Brown) as a pioneering female action star, Grier advocated for female stunt performers.

"It was very important to be authentic because now I'm responsible for teaching a patriarchal society that a woman could be a martial artist, that could stand up to aggression," Grier told Hudson. Authenticity came at a price that Grier was unwilling to pay so she demanded a stunt double.

According to the actress, the stuntman Bob Minor, who doubled for many of Hollywood's Black actors, decided to go out and found a Black woman "who could ride horses, and swim, and be courageous, J.D. Davis."

"She made me look good," Grier added, "To this day, all of the women have a stunt double. So they're not injured, so they can do the work, do the acting, and let the stunt double do the professional moves and you can go back and no one's injured. You don't want to get injured for what? A movie? We're more important. We've gotta live past the filmmaking so that when you have that, that's an industry. And they make you look so good."
