The Bear, while Max premieres the first episodes from season two of its love-it-or-hate-it Sex And The City sequel series And Just Like That…But, as far as we’re concerned, today’s most exciting television offering is Netflix’s new workplace dramedy, Glamorous, which just might be the streamer’s gayest show to date.And, for the record: It features plenty of Kim Cattrall.
Like, way more than a brief, glorified cameo telephone conversation.From creator Jordan Nardino (Star Trek: Discovery, Smash), Glamorous is the story of Marco Meija (Miss Benny), a gender non-conforming makeup artist who gets the opportunity of a lifetime when model-turned-mogul Madolyn Addison (Cattrall, giving us The Devil Wears Prada vibes) taps them for an important role in their makeup empire.The series’ ensemble is super queer, plus it features guest appearances from some of our favorite drag queens (Monét X Change, Priyanka) and even sets up a mini Fire Island reunion when Joel Kim Booster and Matt Rogers turn up for a Provincetown-set episode, acting (and lip-syncing) opposite their old co-star, Zane Phillips.Oh, Zane Phillips.
You might worry a series set largely in a corporate office would keep this beautifully hulking man buttoned-up in suits and such, but fear not: Glamorous knows exactly what it’s doing.Somebody call Ty Pennington because we have the sudden urge for an ‘Extreme Home Makeover’ after seeing Zane Phillips in this jaw-dropping new photoshoot.Take, for instance, his very first scene.
