Production
Development
On February 1, 2019, The CW ordered the pilot for Glamorous, from writer Jordon Nardino and executive producer Damon Wayans Jr.. The series focused on "a gender non-conforming recent high school graduate lands the gig of a lifetime interning at a cosmetics company whose products he panned on YouTube."[10] On February 21, Eva Longoria was announced to direct the pilot.[11][12] On May 16, 2019, Glamorous remained in contention for a series order. According to The CW president Mark Pedowitz, "it needs some retooling so we can try to move forward with it."[13] However, on June 28, it was announced that Glamorous would not move forward.[14] On April 11, 2022, Netflix ordered Glamorous to series.[15] On July 28, it was announced that Todd Strauss-Schulson would direct the first two episodes.[16]
Casting
On February 1, 2019, Brooke Shields and Jade Payton were cast as series regulars.[11][12] On February 26, Ben J. Pierce was cast as the gender-nonconforming lead, opposite Shields, as well as Pierson Fodé, and Michael Rauch joined as an executive producer.[17] Peyton List and Susan Santiago joined the cast on March 13,[18] and Chester Lockhart and Brady Dalton Richards joined the cast on March 22.[19]
On June 30, 2022, it was announced that Kim Cattrall would replace Shields. Additionally, Payton, Zane Phillips, Michael Hsu Rosen, Ayesha Harris, and Graham Parkhurst were set as regulars. Diana Maria Riva, Lisa Gilroy, and Mark Deklin were cast in recurring roles.[20] Additional recurring roles included, Ricardo Chavira,[21] Damian Terriquez, and Kaleb Horn.[22]
Reception
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 47% based on 17 reviews, with an average score of 5.4/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "While Glamorous has several elements that merit celebration, its featherweight touch proves too slight to achieve genuine allure."[23] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the series a score of 57 out of 100 based on 7 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[24] The show was in Netflix's Global Top 10 for two weeks, with 43.1 million viewing hours worldwide.[25] It also reached the Top 10 in 69 countries in the weeks following its release.
