Subscribers will love Ru Paul's plans for them and AJ, we think.
As the series hasn’t been listed as limited, we could potentially see further seasons of AJ and the Queen.
The success of the Original in its first few months will determine how it performs. This is what Renewal ultimately comes down to. RuPaul, a reality star and well-known for his large-than life personality is immensely popular. Many people will be eager to tune in to RuPaul's reality series, thanks to his fame.
We’re fully expecting AJ and the Queen to be incredibly popular with subscribers and fully expect to see a second season in the future.
