Covering the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, Jennifer Hudson poses up alongside her new co-stars to create a buzz for the upcoming second season of Smash. Appeareing nude along with Megan Hilty and Katherine McPhee, the Oscar-winning actress takes centre-stage.

According to reports, the chemistry between Katherine and Megan simply was not enough to carry the show. So, cue J-Hud to stir things up and draw in the viewers.

Set to play the role of a Broadway diva, if her performance in Dreamgirls is anything to go by, she’ll do just fine. However, with Ms. Hudson only taking up a temporary role, she’ll have to live up to expectations for a call-back at the end of the season.

 Just as a little background to the show: Smash is an American musical drama which revolves around the creation of a new Broadway musical. No doubt, there are love interests, conflict and a lot of drama along the way. Sounds perfect for J-Hud.

Season two is set to premiere February 5th on NBC. Will you be tuning in?
