RuPaul's 'Queen' TV Series Coming to Hulu With J.J. Abrams Producing

RuPaul has been a large part of pop culture for decades, and now the gay icon's story will be played out for television. Hulu is developing a TV series, tentatively (and appropriately) titled Queen, which will be based on RuPaul's life.

The show will play out more like a dramedy, as it plans to show a fictionalized version of his rise as an '80s club kid in New York City to becoming a worldwide gay icon and prominent drag queen. J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) serves as executive producer alongside RuPaul and Gary Lennon (Power, Orange Is the New Black), who will also write the script. World of Wonder, which also produces VH1's Drag Race, is also part of the project.
