Old Queens
OLD QUEENS is a half-hour mockumentary sitcom that follows Rick, Ben, Lisa, Melinda, & Lil Frankie (a group of rowdy 70-year-olds at the Queens Center For Queer Seniors) & their 27-year-old program director, Kara (who’s desperately trying to help them make the most of their final years).
