Famous drag queen RuPaul, best known for hosting RuPaul’s Drag Race and The RuPaul Show, is set to star in a new Netflix comedy series, AJ and the Queen. The streaming giant has ordered a 10-episode first season.

RuPaul shot to fame after the release of the dance track “Supermodel (You Better Work)” and will now hit the small-screen as a drag queen down on her luck and travels across America, club hopping with her sidekick AJ, a scrappy 11-year-old orphan.

RuPual will set to write the script and will serve as executive producer alongside Michael Patrick King. King’s MPK Productions is producing, alongside Warner Bros. Television.
