Discovery+ announces cast and release date of LGBTQ+ docuseries The Book of Queer
Dominque Jackson, Alex Newell, Leslie Jordan and Ross Mathews have been announced as guest narrators for The Book of Queer. Each episode of the upcoming docuseries will tell the story of a ground-breaking LGBTQ+ person from history, including re-enactments and recreations from the lives of those in it, Variety reported.
All of the show’s roles will be played by LGBTQ+ people, with cast members including the likes of Gottmik, Miss Vanjie, Rov Anderson, Chris Olsen, Griffin Kelly and Tell Williams, among others.
It will also feature confessional-style interviews with historians who specialise in queer history, such as Prof. Susan Stryker and Blair Imani.
Made up of five parts, the figures set to be looked at include Alexander the Great, Joan of Arc, Alan Turning, Marsha P. Johnson, Stormé DeLarverie and Bayard Rustin, among others.
