Laverne Cox attends a 'bad bitch support group' in trailer for 'A Black Lady Sketch Show'

"We are the chosen ones, bitch."

I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a bad bitch support group, but after watching the trailer to A Black Lady Sketch Show, I feel a very urgent need to attend one.

The HBO show — created and written by Robin Thede and executive produced by Issa Rae — is the first sketch comedy programme written by and starring black women.

The trailer features a string of A-list talent including Kelly Rowland, Patti LaBelle, Lena Waithe, Laverne Cox, and Angela Basset.

Watch the video if only to see Cox declare, "We are the chosen ones, bitch!" during the bad bitch support group meeting. Brava!

A Black Lady Sketch Show lands Aug. 2 via HBO.
