The first-look scripted deal with Sony Pictures Television will see the drag icon’s company develop drama, comedy and animated content across all platforms.
It is said to be keeping RuPaul’s Drag Race’s themes of empowerment, inclusion and positivity at the forefront, Deadline reports.
Former State Street Productions executive Jay Marcus will also be joining as the Head of Film and Television. “Not only [am I] thrilled and honored to join the Sony Pictures Television family, but I’m also extremely grateful for the opportunity to tell unique stories that push the conversation forward,” RuPaul says.
Several years ago, RuPaul got involved in scripted television through his Netflix original comedies series, AJ & the Queen.
