Matthew Wilkas Is Headed To Netflix For A Hot New Role

It's no secret the RuPaul has been busy making deals all over the goddamn place over the past year or so. With RuPaul's Drag Race getting its highest ratings ever, it makes sense that the legendary drag queen is reaching out to other networks and streaming services to keep that money coming in.

With a lot of projects comes a lot of work. AJ and the Queen, RuPaul's upcoming Netflix series, is still finding its cast. It finally has its resident hot cop, though. Actor (and Gus Kenworthy's longtime boyfriend) Matthew Wilkas has been cast in the series to play a sexy cop. We don't have too many details about the role, but we already know he fits the type very well.

Wilkas took to Instagram to gush about his new role, saying that he was "INSANELY EXCITED" to be part of this "dream."

To be honest, it's kind of a dream come true for us all, Matt. I'm just sad that a uniform might cover him up too much.
