Peacock's Queer as Folk, a reimagining of the original British series and its American counterpart from creator Stephen Dunn, stars mostly newcomers — with two very notable exceptions. Kim Cattrall and Juliette Lewis lean into their camp icon credentials as two very different mothers to two very different kids who find themselves suddenly drawn together. Cattrall plays Brenda, the "martini-soaked, high society southern debutant with trailer park roots." Peacock Peacock Brenda is the adoptive mother of Ryan O'Connell's Julian, a "pop culture nerd with cerebral palsy who is more than ready for some independence," as well as Devin Way's Brodie, the "charming and sometimes chaotic commitment-phobe who finds a reason to stay in New Orleans after tragedy rocks his community." Lewis, on the other hand, is Judy, "a single mom who is more of a friend than a parent to her teenager" Mingus (Fin Argus),a cocky high schooler whose confidence belies their lack of real world experience. Peacock Peacock Landing these two veteran character actresses is certainly a boon for the freshman series, which has some big shoes to fill for fans of either the Channel 4 millennial OG or Showtime's transatlantic transplant, or both. Of course, Cattrall is best known for playing quippy, queer-adjacent Samantha Jones on Sex and the City — and nowhere else! — but also has some classically queer credits to her name such as 1987's Mannequin and the Britney Spears-starring Crossroads. And Lewis, is, well, Juliette F---ing Lewis: Natural Born Killers, the "Come to My Window" video, Yellowjackets. Lewis also appeared on Cattrall's short-lived melodrama Filthy Rich. Queer as Folk premieres on Peacock June 9.
