Hulu will help
to develop a TV show based on RuPaul’s life and it already has a tentative
title – Queen.
The project,
likely a half-hour dramady, will take a fictional look at RuPaul’s rise from
genderfucking club kid to gay icon and global drag superstar.
Written by
executive producer Gary Lennon, who also helps to produce Orange Is The New
Black, the show is set in New York City during the Reagan era 1980s.
Queen is being
produced by World of Wonder (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Warner Bros TV, and Bad
Robot. RuPaul is producing alongside director JJ Abrams and Ben Stephenson from
Bad Robot, as well as World of Wonder’s Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato.
No word has
been made about casting yet.
It is unknown
whether the show will feature characters we know that Ru knew at that period in
his life, like a young(er) Lady Bunny and a vogueing Michelle Visage.
YASS papa Ru! :)
