'Orange Is The New Black' Stars, Jonathon Groff & More Heading To Sydney Mardi Gras

Now that's what you call a float!

Streaming service/future overlords of us all, Netflix, has announced its partnership with the 2018 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras for what promises to be one heck of a float.

To celebrate the festival’s 40th anniversary the streaming monolith is bringing a number of its stars Down Under including Orange Is the New Black’s Danielle Brooks, Lea DeLaria and Yael Stone, Jonathon Groff of Mindhunter and Christian Navarro and Alisha Boe from 13 Reasons Why.

“Netflix are pioneers when it comes to queer representation on screen. Their programming has been at the forefront of presenting a great depth of LGBTQI characters and actors,” CEO of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Terese Casu said.

“We are delighted to have cast members from Netflix’s hit shows, who are either a part of the LGBTQI community or strong allies, join us for our 40th anniversary Parade.”

The announcement also teased that this might not be the end of potential guests with Netflix encouraging fans to keep an eye on their official social media over the coming weeks.
