Netflix has pulled the plug on RuPaul's comedy-drama series "AJ and the Queen" after just one season.

Rupaul, who created the show in collaboration with Michael Patrick King, shared the news in a post on Twitter.

"End of the road for 'AJ and The Queen' @Netflix has decided to not extend our road trip across America. Thank you for all the love & support. We're so very proud of the work," the 59-year-old star, who also featured in the series, tweeted.

"AJ and the Queen" followed a down-on-her-luck drag queen Ruby Red (RuPaul), who travels across America from club to club in a rundown RV with her sidekick AJ (Izzy G), a recently orphaned, tough-talking, scrappy 11-year-old stowaway.

As the two misfits travelled from city to city, Ruby spread a message of love and acceptance which touched people and changed their lives for the better.

The show had premiered on Netflix on January 10 to average reviews.
