Netflix today announced that Kim Cattrall [she/her] (Queer as Folk, How I Met Your Father) will join the cast of Glamorous as a series regular, playing makeup mogul Madolyn Addison, a veteran from the Golden Age of Supermodels who is the founder and CEO of the prestigious boutique beauty brand that bears her name. The quick-witted executive is focused on shaking up her business and sees an opportunity in Marco Mejia (Miss Benny), taking him from the makeup counter to a seat at the table, ruffling feathers along the way.

It was previously announced that Miss Benny [they/them] (Fuller House, Love, Victor and American Horror Stories) will play Marco Mejia, a young gender non-conforming queer man whose life seems to be stuck in place until he lands a job working for Madolyn. Also joining the cast in series regular and recurring guest roles will be:

REGULARS

Zane Phillips [he/him] (Fire Island, Legacies) will play Chad, devoted son to Madolyn and the Director of Sales for her beauty empire, who is caught in a never-ending quest to live up to his mother's expectations.

Jade Payton [she/her] (Dynasty, Daybreak) will play Venetia, Madolyns ambitious and chic first assistant who takes the newly-hired Marco under her wing, showing him not only how to navigate the office, but queer Brooklyn nightlife as well.

Michael Hsu Rosen [he/him] (Pretty Smart, Tiny Pretty Things) plays Ben, a graphic designer at Glamorous by Madolyn, full of angst and opinions, who has built a wall around his heart. That is, until he meets Marco, and is inspired to stumble out of his comfort zone.

Ayesha Harris[she/her] (Daisy Jones and The Six, Tell It Like a Woman) plays Britt, a fellow graphic designer at Glamorous by Madolyn, who finds her long-time crush on her colleague requited when they match by surprise, sparking a relationship that gets serious in more ways than one.

Graham Parkhurst[he/him] (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, The Umbrella Academy) plays Parker, a confident, self-proclaimed jock who symbolizes unobtainable gay cis-male perfection. He has a chance encounter with Marco that sets in motion a game of pursuit.

GUEST STARS:

Diana Maria Riva [she/her] (Gordita Chronicles, Dead To Me) plays Julia, Marco's unpretentious, no-nonsense mother who wishes her son would up his dreams of social media stardom and get a real job, which he finally does -- much to her surprise -- when he starts working for Madolyn.

Lisa Gilroy [she/her] (Jury Duty, History of the World: Part II) plays Alyssasays, a first-generation social media influencer who pivoted to a career in marketing and now runs all social accounts at Glamorous by Madolyn, fiercely clinging to her former glory days.

Mark Deklin [he/him] (Good Fight, Grace and Frankie) plays James, a charming and creative but underemployed documentary filmmaker whose chance encounter with the famous Madolyn Addison tumbles into an unexpected romance.

Logline: Glamorous tells the story of Marco Mejia, a young gender non-conforming queer man whose life seems to be stuck in place until he lands a job working for legendary makeup mogul Madolyn Addison. Its Marcos first chance to figure out what he wants out of life, who he actually is, and what it really means for him to be queer.
