Stan may have RuPaul’s Drag Race but Netflix has her new comedy – drama series (yup) AJ and the Queen.
This is co-created by Michael Patrick King (Sex and the City).
RuPaul will star as Ruby Red, a bigger-than-life but down-on-her-luck drag queen who travels across America from club to club in a rundown 1990’s R/V with her unlikely sidekick AJ, a recently orphaned, tough-talking, scrappy 11-year-old stowaway.
As these two misfits, one tall, one small, travel from city to city, Ruby’s message of love and acceptance winds up touching people and changing their lives for the better. RuPaul will also perform “a killer musical number” in every drag club.
Friday January 10 on Netflix.

I’m not a huge fan of RuPaul, but based on the trailer, it actually looks good! I’m excited to see all the Drag Race alum in there as well.
Update: this show is terrible which I probably should have seen coming. The writing sounds like a year 8 kid’s Drag Race fanfiction. So much exposition, shoehorning catch phrases, a lot of showing not telling, forced “emotional moments”, a blind character whose entire deal is that they are blind (I’m talking like 90% of their dialog), a monologue by Ru that sounded like it came straight from LiveJournal. The entire thing was just so cringey.
(Sorry, I meant “telling not showing”)
