“RuPaul stars as Ruby Red in #AJAndTheQueen, a new scripted comedy series premiering January 10!” the caption reads.
“AJ and the Queen” is created by RuPaul and “Sex and the City” writer and producer Michael Patrick King. The show co-stars Michael Leon-Wooley, Josh Segarra, Tia Carrere and Katerina Tannenbaum.
RuPaul said in an interview with Interview magazine in August that filming “AJ and the Queen” was an emotional experience.
“My character parents an 11-year-old child, so I was able to really emotionally revisit myself as a kid. It was a trip. I’ve never done anything like that before. It was the most challenging thing for me as an actor and as a human,” the star shared.
“The big thing for me is that I wish I’d learned how to process feelings earlier,” he said. “The human body is kind of like a computer program, and a lot of the feelings that I felt were based on the experiences I’d had. Knowing that feelings are not facts was a message I wish that 11-year-old Ru had heard.”
RuPaul is known for hosting the VH1 reality competition “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” The new spinoff “RuPaul’s Celebrity Drag Race” will premiere on VH1 in 2020.
