Netflix’s upcoming LGBTQ+ comedy series Glamorous has finally received a launch date (!).
Miss Benny leads as Marco Mejia, a gender non-conforming queer person who lands a job at a prestigious cosmetics company led by Kim Cattrall’s Madolyn Addison, a former supermodel who “built one of the top cosmetic companies in the world from the ground up”.
The official synopsis reveals that Marco “seems to be stuck in place until he lands a job” at Glamorous: “It’s Marco’s first chance to figure out what he wants out of life, who he actually is, and what it really means for him to be queer.”
According to the streamer, the series premieres in its entirety on Thursday 22 June.
The ensemble cast also boasts LGBTQ+ talent such as Zane Phillips (Fire Island), Jade Payton (Dynasty), Michael Hsu (Pretty Smart), Ayesha Harris (Daisy Jones and the Six) and Graham Parkhurst (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds).
Also known for his role as Ben/Prometheus on The CW’s Legacies, Phillips has been cast as Chad, the “devoted son to Madolyn and the Director of Sales for her beauty empire, who is caught in a never-ending quest to live up to his mother’s expectations.”
Payton plays Venetia, Madolyn’s “ambitious and chic” first assistant who becomes an ally to Marco, “showing him not only how to navigate the office, but queer Brooklyn nightlife as well”.
Hsu is Ben, a graphic designer at Glamorous who is “inspired to stumble out of his comfort zone” after meeting Marco.
Harris also plays a graphic designer called Brit, while Parkhurst will embody a “confident, self-proclaimed jock” named Parker who “symbolises unobtainable gay cis-male perfection”.
Diana Maria Riva (Gordita Chronicles), Lisa Gilroy (Jury Duty) and Mark Deklin (Good Fight) round out the cast, while guest stars include Joel Kim Booster (Fire Island), Matt Rogers (I Love That For You) and Priyanka.
