\"In an effort to further engage our community and drive change, all you need to do to enjoy this evening is sign up to receive messages about how you can make a change during this election,\" the website states.

Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and produced by Emmy nominee Stephanie Allai, the first episode is in partnership with Zoom Video Communications and supports nonprofit civil rights advocacy organization Color of Change.

\"'Zoom Where It Happens,' is an opportunity to bring people together for joyful, entertaining cultural gatherings that also work to support action-oriented organizations that are uplifting communities by registering voters and increasing civic engagement,\" said Ellis Ross in a statement.

For the debut premiere, King assumed the role of Dorothy, Ellis Ross played Rose, Woodard portrayed Sophia and Lathan starred as Blanche in a remake of the classic episode \"The Flu.\"

Many fans of the first episode offered praises on Twitter. \"Proud of these ladies! The wigs! The accents! The costumes! Good vibes,\" DuVernay tweeted.

Over 100,00 people registered to view the table read, and 50,000 were able to get in due to Zoom's maximum amount of participants allowed.

\"When you combine cutting edge technology and some of the most creative minds in entertainment, incredible things happen,\" said Janine Pelosi, CMO for Zoom in statement. \"It is an honor to partner with this dynamic group of artists on this nostalgic series with bold intention.\"

Future episodes for \"Zoom Where It Happens\" will be announced to fans who continue to follow the hashtag #zoomwhereithappens.
