Token Artist’s Dilruk Jayasinha to star in the new SBS original ‘Miss Sultanah’.

A small-town beauty pageant. Two feuding sisters. What could go wrong?
New SBS Original Miss Sultanah is a sharp, glitter-soaked comedy that turns the
traditional beauty pageant on its head and puts disability, family and ambition centre
stage.

The six-part series premieres as a boxset on Thursday 3 December on SBS On Demand and at 8:30pm on SBS2, coinciding with International Day of People with Disability.
Created and written by Artemis Muñoz, Rhian Wilson Ruge and Alistair Baldwin, Miss Sultanah stars Crystal Nguyen (Erotic Stories, Eddie’s Lil’ Homies, Plum), Kristy Nguy
(Scrublands), Dilruk Jayasinha (Utopia) and Bridie McKim (Bump, The Heights, Irreverent). Directed by Alistair Baldwin and Hannah Ngo, the series is produced by Molly
O’Connor (Sweet Milk Lake) and Executive Produced by Hannah Ngo (Leviticus, Latecomers, Iggy & Ace).
Miss Sultanah follows sisters Grace (Crystal Nguyen) and Nikki (Kristy Nguy) as they attempt to save their late mother’s cherished beauty pageant by transforming it into their regional town’s first disabled-only competition.

Miss Sultanah premieres as a boxset on Thursday 3 December on SBS On Demand, and all six episodes play as a one-hour broadcast at 8:30pm on SBS2.
