RuPaul's Drag Race star Shangela is adding to her already-impressive acting CV by landing a role on The CW's upcoming Riverdale spin-off.

Shangela will guest star on Katy Keene as a drag queen named Devereaux, who will be the pageant rival of Ginger Lopez/Jorge, played by Jonny Beauchamp.

Devereaux's character description, per The Wrap, reads: "From internet personality to A-list drag queen. Her greatest talent is flaunting this wave of success. Her ruthless competitiveness is what keeps her on top."

Shangela is set to appear in one episode of the series, but it's being teased that she could come back for more in the future as well.

Previously, Shangela had a role in A Star is Born and she's also made appearances in Glee, Broad City and The X-Files.

The upcoming CW series follows titular character Katy Keene (Lucy Hale), who is an aspiring fashion designer, and Josie (Murray), who's fresh off the bus from Riverdale.

It will chronicle the pair and their friends Pepper Smith (Julia Chan) and Jorge Lopez, and his drag queen alter ego Ginger (Jonny Beauchamp), as they chase their dreams in NYC.



Currently, there's no premiere date set for Katy Keene just yet.

RuPaul's Drag Race airs on Netflix.
