Kim Petras set to make acting debut in Grindr's first original content series Bridesman
LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr has announced its first original content series Bridesman, and Kim Petras will make her acting debut in the series.
According to Pride, Bridesman is a series that will follow a gay bridesmaid who undermines his best friend's wedding.
Kim Petras will make her acting debut as a guest appearance in the series, which will also star Jimmy Fowlie (The Other Two), Sydnee Washington (Comedy Central's Up Next Showcase) and Shannon Devido (Difficult People), as well as guests including Liva Pierce, Calvin Seabrooks and Benito Skinner.
Julian Buchan will direct the series which will be split into short episodes running between six and 10 minutes each.
Bridesman creator John Onieal said in a statement, "It's so exciting to create something as joyous as it is gay. We're grateful that this talented team and Grindr are giving this project life. Finally, we get to center the narrative on that gay in the bridal party."
Grindr's Director of Marketing Alex Black added, "We're thrilled to partner with John on Grindr's first foray into long-form content. Bridesman is tailor-made for the Grindr community - it's smart, queer, campy, and features sharp commentary on gay dating, heteronormative standards, and Grindr itself. We are so proud to be showcasing some of the finest talent in the queer community as we continue to find new and creative ways to connect our users."
