Hey there, glam squad! We’ve got some thrilling, goosebump-inducing news that’s sure to light up your week!
Our favorite hunk, Cheyenne Jackson, has jumped into the world of the undead with a fabulous twist, Deadline writes.
He’s starring in the upcoming zombie comedy-horror, Queens of the Dead, and honey, this is one premiere you won’t want to miss!
Move over, Slay, because there’s a new comedy-horror blockbuster ready to steal the spotlight.
Co-written and directed by the fiercely talented Tina Romero, Queens of the Dead promises to be a glam-gore extravaganza.
Tina, daughter of the legendary George A. Romero, is set to give us a fresh, contemporary, and delightfully queer take on classic zombie flicks.
It’s a thrilling homage to her father’s iconic films, infused with vibrant energy and fabulousness that only our community could bring.
Now, let’s dish about the plot. Picture this: a wild night in Brooklyn where drag queens, club kids, and frenemies must put aside their drama to combat a zombie apocalypse that crashes their drag show.
It’s serving high stakes, high heels, and high camp! Can you even imagine the slayage?
But darling, the cast is the true pièce de résistance.
Cheyenne Jackson, whom we’ve adored in American Horror Story: Roanoke and Glee, is just one of the dazzling stars.
Joining him is Pose’s Dominique Jackson, who we all know as the fierce and fabulous mother Elektra, and Drag Race: All Stars 9 sensation Nina West.
If that’s not enough to get you gagging, the film also boasts I Saw The TV Glow’s non-binary star Brigette Lundy-Paine, the stunning Katy O’Brian from Love Lies Bleeding, and Fire Island’s comedic duo, Margaret Cho and Tomas Matos.

And let’s not forget about Jaquel Spivey, fresh off Mean Girls, the ever-talented Riki Lindhome from Knives Out, and Shaunette Renée Wilson, who slayed in Black Panther and Billions.
This dream ensemble is guaranteed to bring their unique and vibrant flavors to the screen, making us root for every moment of their fierce survival.
In a recent statement, Tina Romero gushed, “This is the cast of my wildest dreams.
“In a movie about survival, you gotta love and root for the survival crew. Every single person in this ensemble brings such a special and specific flavor. The result is truly a magic sauce.”
And you know what? We couldn’t agree more.
So, grab your popcorn and your besties, because Queens of the Dead is gearing up to be the queer zombie apocalypse movie we’ve all been dying for.
Stay tuned for more juicy details and behind-the-scenes gossip as we count down to the most fabulous undead showdown ever!
