RuPaul's AJ and the Queen cancelled after one season on Netflix
The series debuted in January to mixed reviews from critics
Netflix has pulled the plug on comedy drama series AJ and the Queen after just one season.
The show starred RuPaul as Ruby Red, a drag queen whose life savings are stolen, dashing her dreams of opening a bar.
She goes on a tour across America to recoup her losses, only to discover a 10-year-old orphan stowed away in her van.
Created by RuPaul and Sex and the City's Michael Patrick King, the show made its debut on Netflix in January to mixed reviews from critics.
On Twitter yesterday, RuPaul announced that the show would not be getting a second season, but that he was "so very proud of the work."
