RuPaul plays Ruby Red in Netflix's fabulous new series, AJ and the Queen.

Ruby, aka Robert Lee, "has big dreams of opening his very own drag club," reads the official description. "After years of performing in clubs all across the country, he has scrimped and saved and is one signed lease away from turning his dreams into a reality until he realizes he’s been swindled by a charismatic grifter (Josh Segarra) and his eye-patch wearing partner-in-crime, Lady Danger (Tia Carrere). With his heart broken and money stolen, Robert has no choice but to pick up the pieces and start over, and a cross country Ruby Red roadshow provides the perfect opportunity to do just that."

"But when AJ (Izzy G.), a scrappy, streetwise 10-year-old escaping a difficult home life, stows away in Robert’s rundown RV, the consummate performer suddenly finds himself in a new set of shoes: de facto parent. Fabulously mismatched yet perfectly paired, AJ and Ruby must find a way to navigate through tough times as they learn a few tricks from one another and roll on to brighter days."

Expect performances by RuPaul in every episode of this "heartfelt and gritty comedy about finding family in the unlikeliest of people when they’re needed most."
