Earlier this year, it was announced that Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thrillers and the supernatural, had acquired “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula” for a fourth season. On Monday, the streaming service revealed the premiere date and key art for the upcoming season of the hit drag competition series. Premiering exclusively on the horror streaming service on Tuesday, October 19, with new episodes to follow every Tuesday, this marks the first time the series will be released at the same time in all English-speaking territories.
The groundbreaking Shudder Original series follows ten drag artists from around the world competing for a $100,000 grand prize – the largest in show history. Season four will feature a spectacular lineup of guest judges including Vanessa Hudgens (“High School Musical” film series), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Kristian Nairn (“Game of Thrones”), Misha Osherovich (“Freaky”), Queer country music icon Orville Peck, pop metal star Poppy, Ray Santiago (“Ash vs. The Evil Dead”), Bob the Drag Queen (“We’re Here”), and more, with additional judges to be announced later.
“This is absolutely the best season of the show that we’ve ever produced. It’s shocking, it’s packed with stars, and it’s an intense, unpredictable ride that’s going to be a game changer for televised drag,” said the Boulet Brothers. “We can’t wait for the world to see what we’ve been up to – we have such sights to show you!”
“We can’t wait for Shudder members to see the new season of this ground-breaking series which is bigger and bolder than ever- the diverse cast, the judges, the drag art, the horror, the competitions and everything in between,” said Craig Engler, Shudder’s General Manager. “We are delighted to be working with the talented Boulet Brothers on this series which will be premiering during our biggest and the spookiest month of the year.”
Dubbed one of “the 19 best LGBTQ+ shows everyone needs to watch” by Cosmopolitan, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula is written and produced by the Boulet Brothers with Executive Producer David Sigurani and director Nathan Noyes.”
