Caitlyn Jenner to star on Amazon’s ‘Transparent;’ series wins best comedy at GLAAD Awards

Caitlyn Jenner is branching out from reality television and will appear next season on the Amazon original series “Transparent.”

Jill Soloway, the creator and executive producer of the series, told The Associated Press about the casting during an interview at the GLAAD Media Awards on Saturday in Los Angeles. Jenner will begin filming scenes next week.

“We are all part of the same community,” Soloway told the AP. “A lot of the transwomen who work on our show are also in her show ‘I am Cait.’ Lots of crossover. Lots of friends.”

So excited to be at the #glaadawards tonight with the incredible @judithlight and the rest of this wonderful crowd! #transparent #iamcait @glaad @rogersandcowan @iamcait
