The prospective series — which is being written by Gary Lennon (Power, Orange Is the New Black) — is set in 1980s New York City and offers up a fictionalized version of RuPaul’s life, tracing his ascent from nightclub presence to drag queen, TV personality, singer, and international gay icon. Abrams’ production company Bad Robot and World of Wonder (producer of The RuPaul Show and RuPaul’s Drag Race) are producing the series in association with Warner Bros. RuPaul is also serving as an executive producer of the show, which soon will be shopped around Hollywood.
