Arm Wives, now in its seventh season, went through a creative mini-revamp after last season, with several new characters — played by Ashanti, Torrey DeVitto and Elle McLemore — added as regulars.

In her first series regular role, Ashanti will play Latasha Durant, an optimistic mother of three, a sexy, fun woman who knows how to keep a husband – and how to keep him in line.

Army Wives will premiere March 10 at 9:00 pm ET. It’ll serve as the lead-in to the Season 2 premiere of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s drama The Client List.
