Netflix's 'Glamorous' Queer Drama with Kim Cattrall and Miss Benny
Netflix has released 'Glamorous', a 10-episode queer drama series starring Kim Cattrall as Madolyn Addison, a former supermodel and makeup mogul, and Miss Benny as Marco, a young queer influencer. The show, set in the cosmetics industry, explores themes of identity, vulnerability, and self-discovery through its diverse characters, including Madolyn's gay son Chad (Zane Phillips) and assistant Venetia (Jane Payton). Miss Benny, who plays Marco, emphasized that the character's transgender journey is not the central plot but part of a broader narrative about love, success, and adulthood. The series blends elements of 'The Devil Wears Prada', 'Ugly Betty', and 'Emily in Paris', offering a colorful, inclusive look behind the scenes of a beauty empire. Kim Cattrall's performance echoes her iconic 'Sex and the City' role but with added vulnerability. The show premiered on Netflix in July 2023.
