Of course, Van Ness has a better shot than most at landing a role on the saucy period drama. That's because he's good friends with one of the series' stars Nicola Coughlin, who plays Penelope Featherington, the Season 3 love interest and Lady Whistledown herself. The two met years ago via Instagram after the Derry Girls star tagged Van Ness in a comment after watching Queer Eye, and the rest is history.
"I've been pushing for, like, a Where's Waldo? principal extra cameo," Van Ness said. "Like, I don't know if Nicola's in charge of casting things. She's literally Lady Whistledown, so you think she's quite powerful. I have gotten to go visit set, and look, I laid the seeds. Have they sprouted yet? I don't think so. I don't know if they're going to."
With Season 4 on the way, but presumably eight seasons in total if the show follows Julia Quinn's book series, Van Ness has plenty of sexually charged balls to potentially appear at, and he's got ideas for his role.
Another (less tantalizing) idea would be to move the other direction on the non-binary spectrum.
Certainly JVN in a powdered wig and ball gown doing the quadrille isn't too much to ask? Especially since it was Van Ness who got Coughlin her gig as a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race UK (which Van Ness would also love to appear on). Van Ness previously partnered with Drag Race's production company World of Wonder on his series Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness.

"I'm the one that got Nicola as a guest judge on Drag Race UK," Van Ness told Parade. "I literally coordinated that with World of Wonder in a Getting Curious meeting. I was like, 'Nicola's the world's most obsessed person with Drag Race, and she has to be guest judge.'"
"I think if I had to pick between The Traitors and Dancing with the Stars, I would totally do Dancing with the Stars," Van Ness said, "Because whenever I lie, I shove my tongue in my mouth because I just want to laugh. I really am like the world's worst liar. I just get too nervous. My heart beats. I feel like I start to fart. My stomach hurts. I really am the worst liar."
