BreAnna Bell ITV America (“Queer Eye”) and production studio Good Company (Beyonce’s “Lemonade”) have announced new unscripted series “Category Is” (working title), an eight-episode documentary series focusing on New York City’s Ballroom scene through the lens of one of its most prominent houses: The House of Miyake-Mugler.

Executive produced by Yusef Williams (“Overall Father” of the House of Miyake-Mugler), the series chronicles the personal and professional lives of nine members of this all-Black and queer “chosen family.” Power struggles, romance and interpersonal rivalries abound as they battle to make names for themselves in the House, the Ballroom scene and around the world, smashing stereotypes and overcoming tremendous adversity.

Williams (Yusef Mugler) is featured in the documentary as the head of the House. A celebrity hairstylist, Williams hopes to cement his legacy while keeping members of this hot-headed, strong-willed troupe united and at the top of their game. “Legendary” alum Tati Mugler serves as the “Princess” of the House and is a trans woman fighting to overcome a crisis of confidence while still being a source of mentorship to the House’s younger generation.

An ex-“NYC Mother” of the House, Leyna Bloom made history as the first trans actress and model to premiere a film at Cannes Film Festival, and the first trans woman to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated.
