*Transgender actress/entertainer/talk show host Ts Madison is expanding the platform of her story with a upcoming biopic series. LoveBScott reports the project will confirm rumors the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” judge will align with acclaimed director Lee Daniels for the project, which will center on Madison’s journey from childhood to years in sex work to her ascent in the entertainment industry
“All those wild stories when I used to tell on the ‘Lipton Tea Hour,’ when I used to sit back and talk about my life, we’re going to be expounding on that,” Madison told Out about the series during a ribbon-cutting ceremony for her TS Madison Starter House.
Daniels will direct the biography series, which Madison announced on Instagram. The filmmaker’s partnership with the trans influencer certifies the Madison’s commitment to telling her story with grit and integrity, LoveBScott notes.
“I’m proud to give it over to him because he’s a queer person, and I wanted it to be told by a queer person,” she said.
In addition to Daniels, Madison revealed a former sex worker is on board for the biopic show as a writer. The move falls in line the entertainer’s “all areas of Black to be involved” mindstate for the project — a Black woman, Black queer, etc.

The biopic venture isn’t the only thing on Madison’s docket.
A documentary is also in the works on the TS Madison Starter House, a reentry residence that supports formerly incarcerated Black trans women.
Madison will collaborate with World of Wonder for the reality TV series, which will highlight healing and growth as its focus.
“I don’t want to see Black skin tearing each other apart; we already have enough of those shows,” Madison commented. “When these women enter the house, I want to focus on their coming-out stories.”
