RuPaul’s Drag Race season 9 winner Sasha Velour is returning to TV with a new eight-episode digital series for the new streaming platform Quibi.
Says Sasha’s rep:
“Part performance documentary, part portrait of the artist, we’ll watch her work with each member of her unique and wonderful ensemble to craft the lip sync performances of their wildest dreams. Each installment draws us to one performer in particular, and reveals their daily life, process, and backstory, culminating in a 2-3 minute made-for-mobile visual expression of their live number. The result will be something new: live drag, designed for the screen. Eight iconic, shareable, must-watch performances that redefine what drag can be.”
“Nightgowns” is scheduled to debut in 2020 with live numbers directed by Sophie Muller, director of classic music videos like Kylie Minogue’s “Dancing,” Gwen Stefani’s “Cool,” and Annie Lennox’s “Walking on Broken Glass”.
