Looks like drag superstar RuPaul is coming to Netflix show Grace and Frankie for an ahem *extreme Bebe Zahara Benet voice* CAMEOOOOO!!!

On Wednesday, Netflix revealed that it renewed Grace and Frankie, starring iconic Megyn Kelly shader Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, for a fifth season and that none other than RuPaul would guest star in the fifth season as “Benjamin Le Day,” a “formidable and quick-witted adversary who faces off with Grace and Frankie.”

Grace and Frankie has earned a huge queer following for several reasons: the whole premise is a little bit of Golden Girls with the addition of an older gay couple. Also, the third season starred Lisa Kudrow, so do you need to know anything else?

Season 5 of Grace and Frankie is set to come out in 2019, based on some tweets that Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and RuPaul sent out earlier today.
