Peacock's Queer As Folk reboot is shaping up quite 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.
Grace, a New Orleans native, will play a nonbinary professor "navigating the rocky transition from punk to parenthood." They've appeared in the ABC drama pilot Acts of Crime.
Devin Way (Grey's Anatomy, Station 19) is joining the cast as "a charming and sometimes chaotic commitment-phobe who finds a reason to stay in New Orleans after tragedy rocks his community."
Fin Argus, who recently starred in the Disney+ movie Clouds, is joining the cast as "a cocky high schooler whose confidence belies his lack of real world experience."
You know and love Johnny Sibilly from Pose, Hacks, and social media, and now we can look forward to seeing him on Queer As Folk where he'll play "a successful lawyer who is not as put together as he seems."
O'Connell (Special) is joining the cast as "a pop culture nerd with cerebral palsy who is more than ready for some independence." He's also going to be a co-exuctive producer and writer on the series.
The TV legend, best known for playing Samantha on HBO's iconic series Sex and the City, will play a recurring role in the new Queer As Folk, and though not much is known about her character yet, we do know that she will play a "martini-soaked, high society southern debutant with trailer park roots."
