Glamorous: Kim Cattrall will star as a make-up mogul in this effervescent Netflix comedy

Before she makes her much-discussed cameo in And Just Like That, Kim Cattrall will be her comic timing to good use in a new Netflix show.

Yes, her unexpected return to And Just Like That may have generated serious buzz, but before that, Kim Cattrall has another project on the horizon.

Her upcoming Netflix series Glamorous, which lands on the streaming service later this month, stars Cattrall as a make-up mogul who hires a young queer, gender non-conforming person as her protégée.

The trailer has shades of The Devil Wears Prada and Ugly Betty - which, naturally, only makes us more excited to watch the finished product.

Here’s everything you need to know about the show… 

What is Glamorous about?

The series is set to follow industry newbie Marco Mejia (played by Miss Benny), who manages to land a job working for legendary beauty boss Madolyn Addison (played by Cattrall).

Her make-up line Glamorous Cosmetics has dramatically dropped in popularity, and Madolyn suspects foul play, believing that someone inside the company could be trying to sabotage her.

Her solution? Hiring Marco to do some unofficial detective work. “She wants him to be her eyes and ears, to make friends — and find out what’s going on behind her back, to discover what they’re hiding and what they’re stealing,” the show’s official synopsis explains.

” In exchange, she’ll teach Marco everything she knows – but she warns him, ‘This business isn’t all glitter and glamour, and neither is life.’”

For Marco, the job represents his first chance to figure out what he wants out of life, who he actually is, and what it really means to be queer.

Who is in the cast of Glamorous?

Joining Cattrall and Miss Benny will be Zane Phillips, who plays Madolyn’s son Chad, who is the director of sales in his mother’s beauty business. Ayesha Harris and Michael Hsu Rosen will both appear as graphic designers at the brand, who slowly start to open up through their friendship with Marco. 

Graham Parkhurst, Diana Maria Riva, Lisa Gilroy and Mark Deklin round out the cast. 

Is there a trailer for Glamorous?

Yes indeed - and you can watch it in all of its glory below. Is it just us, or is Cattrall channelling a touch of Sex And The City’s Samantha Jones, with a dash of Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada?

When is Glamorous on Netflix?

All 10 episodes of Glamorous are set to land on Netflix on 22 June - perfect for some laidback summer viewing.
