Spooky season is rapidly approaching, and with the chill autumn winds comes the shocking return of Dracmorda and Swanthula! The Emmy-nominated drag duo is back with an all-new season of THE BOULET BROTHERS’ DRAGULA: TITANS, debuting October 7, only on SHUDDER and AMC+. And this year is shaping up to be the show’s most ambitious yet.
Fourteen of the fiercest and most terrifying drag artists, all top-ranked finalists and fan favorites from past seasons, will square off in a fabulously fearsome battle of design, performance, and makeup-based challenges inspired by horror, science fiction, fantasy and the supernatural. Season 2 promises to take the seasoned competitors to terrifying new heights (and depths) of drag artistry as they face their deepest fears through outrageous physical challenges filled with shocking twists and brutal “exterminations” that redefine what it means to be a Titan. In addition to being crowned Queen of the Underworld, the survivor of the competition’s threefold pillars of “Filth, Horror and Glamour” will leave with a $100,000 grand prize and a headlining spot on a forthcoming Boulet Brothers world tour.
As always, Dracmorda and Swanthula will host the freaky festivities, joined by a bevy of celebrity judges, including David Dastmalchian, Jennifer Tilly, Todd McFarlane, Kate Siegel, Don Mancini, Bonnie Aarons, Akela Cooper, Twin Temple, Peaches Christ, Steve Orlando, Ryan Turek, James A Janisse & Chelsea Rebecca and season one winner, Victoria Elizabeth Black.
“We didn’t just want to make another season of THE BOULET BROTHERS’ DRAGULA: TITANS. We set out to create a monster of a season that would completely eclipse everything that came before it,” the Boulets state in an official press release, adding, “We pushed ourselves harder than ever, brought back the fiercest competitors in the show’s history, and packed every episode with shocking twists, jaw-dropping artistry, and real emotion. This is TITANS fully realized – bigger, darker, and more unrelenting than anything we’ve done before.”
Premiering during SHUDDER’s landmark tenth year, THE BOULET BROTHERS’ DRAGULA: TITANS is the first project to be released under the Boulet Brothers’ new three-project deal with AMC Networks.
