This Halloween, modern-day horror hosts, drag icons and television innovators The Boulet Brothers are back with THE BOULET BROTHERS’ DRAGULA. The fifth season of their groundbreaking drag reality competition show premieres on Tuesday, October 31. (Check out RUE MORGUE’s interview with The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans spin-off winner Victoria Elizabeth Black here.)

Promising to be “the most ambitious season” yet, Season 5 of Shudder’s most-watched franchise series boasts a “brand-new, state-of-the-art set; an army of talented crew members; the most diverse cast in the show’s history,” and The Boulet Brothers themselves as the series’ directors. With the contestants still unannounced, The Boulet Brothers will welcome an all-star roster of guest judges, including (but not limited to) Mike Flanagan (Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House), actor David Dastmalchian (Oppenheimer), author Tannanarive Due, writer-director Kevin Smith, musician Jazmin Bean and Scream star Matthew Lillard. Viewers can also expect appearances from past season winners and stars, including Landon Cider, Victoria Elizabeth Black, Dahli and Koco Caine.

“With Season 5, we are beginning a new and innovative chapter of the show, and we’ve retooled and updated the format in an incredibly exciting new way,” says Dracmorda, one-half of the deadly drag duo, in a press statement issued this week. With a devoted and continuously growing fan base, THE BOULET BROTHERS’ DRAGULA has become must-see television for horror, drag and reality fans, showcasing some of the finest artists in the franchise’s four pillars of Drag, Filth, Horror and Glamour.
