Showtime Orders Drama Pilot ‘Queen Fur’

Showtime has announced the pilot order for the hour-long drama series “Queen Fur,” created, written and executive produced by Eileen Myers (“Masters of Sex”) and starring Lily Mae Harrington (“Some Freaks”). Sian Heder (“Orange Is the New Black”) will direct the pilot. Deb Spera (“Army Wives”) will also serve as an executive producer.  

A co-production between Shpwtime and Sony Pictures Television, “Queen Fur” is set in a small town in Central Florida – a place where beauty pageants, gun culture, Cuban revolutionaries and Southern hospitality co-exist and collide. And at the center of it all is Macy Dunleavy (Harrington) – a curvy, sexy, unapologetic high school dropout who is finding her womanhood and is ready to seize a big opportunity.
