Transgender actress Amiyah Scott snags a bigger storyline on the next season of Lee Daniels' Fox drama 'Star...'
In the season one cliffhanger Amiyah Scott's character Cotton is in the hospital about to undergo sex reassignment surgery when she finds out she is under arrest for theft.
In a recent interview Star's new show runner Karin Gist explains,
“This season we’re going to tell Cotton (Amiyah Scott)’s story [of transitioning], and we’re going to continue to tell stories of how hard it is for people who’ve been incarcerated, very early on in season, and we’re going to continue to throw whatever we can at the audience to get them to think and to throw the mirror up.”
