Peacock announced on Thursday that Emmy Award nominee and Writers Guild Award winner Ryan O’Connell (Special, Will & Grace) will be joining the cast of the upcoming Queer as Folk reimagining.
O’Connell will join the upcoming show as a series regular, and will also serve as co-executive producer and writer of the series.
He’ll join previously announced series regulars Fin Argus, Candace Grace, Jesse James Keitel, Johnny Sibilly, and Devin Way.
O’Connell will play “a pop culture nerd with cerebral palsy who is more than ready for some independence,” according to Peacock’s announcement.
