Branden Miller sat down with Janet Mock on her podcast Never Before to chat about transphobia, racial identity and future projects the viral social media star is working on.
During the podcast, Miler revealed that his character Joanne the Scammer would be getting her own shown – possibly for Netflix.
Miller told Mock that “someone from Netflix” was currently writing the show. The show’s exact format is still somewhat hazy, with Miller admitting, “I can’t even speak that far ahead because I don’t even know.”
Miller added: “If you know Joanne on Instagram, there are little snippets of her life” in which Joanne appears “right in the middle of a scam. So I’m capturing that. Instagram gives you one minute of that, the show will give you the whole storyline.”
When Mock asked if the show will be a sitcom, Miller answered, “We’re trying to do that. I can’t even speak that far ahead because I don’t even know. All I know is we start off with her being married to this rich white older guy, or maybe he’s not even older. And he drops her, so she’s trying to get to that place again of being Caucasian – whatever she thinks that is.”
The show is still in development and while someone from Master of None (a Netflix show) is writing it – it hasn’t been sold to anyone yet. I for one, am here for all of this regardless of where it airs. Joanne aka Branden is hilarious!
