Catherine Zeta-Jones will play the leading role in  “Queen America,” an upcoming show on Facebook Watch, TheWrap has confirmed.

Facebook has green lit 10 episodes of the one-hour dark comedy series. Zeta-Jones will play Vicki Ellis, a cutthroat pageant coach in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who is tasked with coaching a luckless Samantha Stone into a Miss America contender.

“Queen America” is created, written, and executive produced by Meaghan Oppenheimer, best known for writing on “Fear the Walking Dead.” Made Up Stories’ Bruna Papandrea and Casey Haver, and Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady and Suzan Bymel will also executive produce alongside Janice Williams.
