Legendary drag queen Jackie Beat has now landed her own TV series, Dr. Jackie: Unlicensed Psychotherapist, on OUTtv.
On the show, Beat plays a therapist who “helps out” several notable clients with her unlicensed advice. Though she isn’t qualified to give out professional help, the queen certainly has a piece of paper stating that she’s a doctor.
Cameos and guest stars on Dr. Jackie include Elvira (a.k.a. Cassandra Peterson), Trixie Mattel, Bianca Del Rio, Monét X Change, Katya, Alaska, BenDeLaCreme, Tammie Brown, Kelly Mantle, Margaret Cho, Alec Mapa, and more. Meanwhile, Sherry Vine plays Beat’s often confused assistant.

“It’s such a great feeling to not only entertain people, but be able to help them, too,” Beat said in a release. “It’s a real win-win. I’m very proud of the fact that I am able to make mental health just a little more glamorous and fun! And if anyone wants to cancel me for ‘mocking’ psychotherapy, please do it! I haven’t been on THAT reality television show so I need all the publicity I can get!”
Written by Beat herself, Dr. Jackie is directed by John Mark Hostetler and produced by Producer Entertainment Group (PEG) for OUTtv. The six-part series is still airing new episodes, so now is the perfect time to watch up on it.
Dr. Jackie is now streaming on OUTtv.
