JJ Abrams's production company Bad Robot and World of Wonder are teaming up on a half-hour dramedy based on RuPaul's life and set in New York City in the 1980s, Deadline reports:
RuPaul will executive produce alongside Bad Robot's Abrams and Ben Stephenson as well as World of Wonder's Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, and Tom Campbell.
RuPaul, a San Diego native who moved to Atlanta to study performing arts, settled in New York City where he became a popular fixture on the nightclub scene, a period in his life that has inspired the dramedy project.
