Horror fans and creators always have a full plate during the Halloween season, but for the Boulet Brothers, the spookiest time of the year is proving to be especially busy. Hot on the (spiked) heels of the recent news that the dynamic duo of diabolical drag has signed an exclusive, multi-project deal with Shudder, the 21st-century horror icons have just announced THE BOULET BROTHERS’ DRAGULA: TITANS. A spin-off of the popular The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, the ten-episode series brings back some of the most popular drag performers from previous seasons in a grand championship competition of drag artistry and shocking physical challenges for a $100,000 grand prize, the headlining spot on the Boulet Brothers’ upcoming world tour and the first ever DRAGULA TITANS crown and title.
Along with the higher stakes for some of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula most popular contestants, DRAGULA: TITANS features a roster of rotating judges that includes horror icon Cassandra Peterson (Elvira), Harvey Guillen (What We Do in the Shadows), Justin Simien (director of Disney’s upcoming Haunted Mansion film), David Dastmalchian (Dune, Suicide Squad), pop metal princess Poppy, drag superstars Alaska and Katya, and horror royalty Joe Bob Briggs, Bonnie Aarons (The Nun) and Barbara Crampton (Reanimator, Jakob’s Wife) to name a few, with surprise guests making unannounced appearances along the way.
However, THE BOULET BROTHERS’ DRAGULA: TITANS is no mere copy of the original. The new format is filled with twists and turns that are sure to keep fans on the edge of their seat.
“We wanted the show to feel familiar to fans, but we also wanted the set and format to feel elevated from a regular season in order to match the incredible talent of the artists we’ve brought together,” the Boulet Brothers say. “There are so many shocking twists and turns this year that the competitors affectionately renamed the show ‘Gagula’ during filming, and we really can’t wait for audiences to see it. This show is truly the most compelling content we’ve created to date.”
THE BOULET BROTHERS’ DRAGULA: TITANS debuts October 25 with a special two-episode premiere only on Shudder.
