Drop Dead Diva | set visit "Jane & Kim, part 2" season 2 US (2010)
The Queens of the Dead cast has finally been revealed for Tina Romero's upcoming queer zombie comedy, with Love Lies Bleeding's Katy O'Brian and Fire Island's Margaret Cho among the stars attached to star in the gory film.
The director of Queens of the Dead is honoring the legacy of her father, George A. Romero (the filmmaker behind cult classics Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead), with her own unique spin on the genre. A queer-centric zombie film, Queens of the Dead will center on a zombie apocalypse set in a Brooklyn drag show, where drag queens and club kids are forced to put aside their personal dramas to fight the undead.
According to Deadline, Queens of the Dead will also star Brigette Lundy-Paine (I Saw The TV Glow) and Cheyenne Jackson (American Horror Story). Other names expected to appear in the upcoming film include Dominique Jackson (Pose), Quincy Dunn-Baker (No Hard Feelings), Nina West (RuPaul's Drag Race), Shaunette Renée Wilson (Black Panther), Eve Lindley (Bros), Jaquel Spivey (Mean Girls), Tomas Matos (Fire Island), Becca Blackwell (Bros), and Riki Lindhome (Knives Out).
