Lifetime’s new docuseries Kim of Queens will debut on the network on January 1, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT before moving to its regular time slot of Tuesdays at 10pm. The series stars successful pageant coach Kim Gravel who, along with her mom and sister, will help transform “diamonds in the rough” into confident women.

Kim of Queens is produced by Relativity Television with Tom Forman, Brad Bishop, Bryan O’Donnell, Colleen Conway Grogan, Mary Donahue, and Eli Lehrer executive producing.

The Plot: While applying her homegrown philosophy that beauty is only skin deep, Kim, with her larger-than-life personality that is peppered with tough love and plenty of humor, searches for young talent that many might pass over on first glance. As Kim likes to say, “You can wear a burlap sack, girl; but if you got it on the inside, it shines on the outside.”

At the young age of 19, this former self-proclaimed “ugly duckling” was crowned the youngest Miss Georgia in the pageant’s history. Kim will be the first to say that winning Miss Georgia was great, but losing Miss America made her who she is today. Now, as the owner and CEO of her business, the renowned Pageant Place, Kim shares her incredible talents and over-the-top, engaging personality with the young, talented hopefuls seeking her sage advice that has proven to take young girls to the top.
