Peacock's Queer As Folk reboot is coming along nicely!
After first announcing that Jesse James Keitel was going to be one of the stars, Peacock announced the whole cast for their new, upcoming series (that includes an award-winning TV legend) as well as a new executive producer and writer Jaclyn Moore (Dear White People) who is joining Stephen Dunn behind the scenes.
This new version of the show will take place in New Orleans and follows a diverse group of friends whose lives are transformed in the aftermath of a tragedy. Here's who you can expect to see starring!
Keitel, who became the first nonbinary actor to play a nonbinary series regular on primetime television when they starred in Big Sky, was announced as the first cast member of the new reboot.
