Seattle's premier Jewish narcoleptic drag queen, Jinkx Monsoon, is setting their sights on something better and bigger (well, on the inside) than ever before: the TARDIS.

Recently crowned the “Queen of all Queens” on the first All-Stars All-Winners season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Jinkx has continued making history by being the first drag queen to play the role of Mama Morton in Chicago on Broadway. A dream role of Monsoon’s, they shattered box office records during their extended 8-week run.

Jinkx will also tour the world with her Everything at Stake tour starting later this year. So, joining the wondrous world of Doctor Who in a major role should come as no surprise for fans of the show and Monsoon.

Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies said: “In a galaxy of comets and supernovas, here comes the biggest star of all. Jinkx Monsoon is on a collision course with the TARDIS, and Doctor Who will never be the same again!”

Fans of Doctor Who across the world are gearing up to celebrate the show’s 60th anniversary, with beloved Doctor David Tennant returning as the Fourteenth Doctor. Following the anniversary specials, Ncuti Gatwa will make his debut as the Fifteenth Doctor over the holiday season.

Fans outside of the UK and Ireland can catch the new seasons of Doctor Who exclusively on Disney+.
