The Miami drag scene is on fiyah! And the queens of Miami Dolls are bringing the drama, the heart, the hilarity, and most of all the heat.
This new comedy docuseries focuses on a group of women who work at the legendary Palace Bar in South Beach — and it couldn’t have come at a better and more poignant time than now. Focusing on the lives, loves, and careers of these incredibly talented drag queens, the goal of the show was “to celebrate trans joy instead of trauma,” says executive producer Topher Cusumano.
The series comes from the makers of the recent hit series For the Love of DILFs and returning faves X-Rated: NYC andHot Haus, and was developed not only to entertain but to also tell stories that rarely get the kind of light and signal boost that they so richly deserve.
“We believe showcasing how marginalized groups in Florida and other conservative-run states are still finding ways to thrive is powerful activism in its own right. It’s one of the reasons we’re calling the show ‘comedy-docuseries’ (also because it’s HILARIOUS!),” adds Cusumano.
It also helps that the cast is so dynamic and multifaceted. They can have you laughing and crying in the same episode — and coming back for more.
