RuPaul, unstoppable, is currently gearing up for his shiny new Netflix series AJ and the Queen, co-starring 22 (!!!) adored Drag Race alums.
We love royalty.

The synopsis is as follows: “RuPaul stars as a Ruby Red a down-on-her-luck drag queen who travels across America from club to club in a rundown 1990’s van, in order to recoup the savings recently stolen from her. She’s paired up with AJ, a recently orphaned, tough-talking, scrappy 11-year-old white girl 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 changes their lives a little for the better.”
Oof, it sounds heartfelt as hell. Tears will be shed.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the Drag Race alums will appear across the 10-episode first season.

The show describes itself as part Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and part Touched by an Angel. Also, RuPaul performs a musical number in every drag club. Here for it.
