All Hail the Kings! Meet the ‘King of Drag’ Season 2 Cast
The hit reality competition series is back for another round of drag excellence and king sh*t! Plus, all the deets on the upcoming national tour.
King of Drag season two is not only coming, it’s practically here. And now we know exactly who we are going to be cheering on when the hit reality competition series returns to Revry.
Today, the LGBTQ+ streaming service announced the eight kings who would be vying for the title of King of Drag. Is it too soon to just crown them all?
While the kings competing are all new faces, there are some new folks headed to the judging table as well. In season two, lesbian comic Cameron Esposito will take on the role of host and mentor to the cast. The main judges, aka the King’s Court, will include drag stars Gottmik and Vico Ortiz, Revry co-founder Damian Pelliccione, as well as returning kings Henlo Bullfrog and King Perk. And the special guest judges are bringing plenty of discernment and star power, too. Dustin Lance Black, Yvie Oddly, Ginger Minj, Big D, Dana Goldberg, Frankie Simone and Laith Ashley are among those who will be lending their expertise this season.
And some more of our beloved King of Drag stars will also be popping in for a bit of a family reunion all season long, including Tuna Melt, Charles Galin King, Pressure K, Alexander the Great and Buck Wylde all make cameos this time around.
This season’s stars are ready to make their mark, too! “Every one of these kings are so unique that they brought things we haven’t seen before, and that’s exactly what this show was built for,” said Christopher Rodriguez, Series Co-Creator, Executive Producer, and Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer at Revry. “Season 1 proved the world was ready for drag kings. This cast is going to show everyone just how far the art form can go.”
Speaking of how far the art can go, fans of the show across the nation are about to get a front-row seat to the artistry coming out of this boundary-breaking series. As Revry announced, this season comes with a national tour. According to the press release, “for the first time, King of Drag is going live with a 22-city national tour – a variety and entertainment showcase that brings the cast of King of Drag to life on stage across the U.S. The Royal Tour launches October 25 in Las Vegas and wraps December 6 in San Francisco.” Tickets are already on sale at kingofdragtour.com. And you can bet GO will be there!
But enough anticipation. Let’s meet the kings of season two!
