‘King of Drag’ Reveals Cameron Esposito as New Season 2 Host and Teases Star-Studded Judges Panel
The queer comedy icon will host season two alongside a new “King’s Court” featuring Gottmik, Vico Ortiz and more.
Queer comic extraordinaire Cameron Esposito has a new gig: hosting season two of the hit reality competition series King of Drag!
Today, Revry made the announcement that Esposito would be hosting the sophomore season alongside a new “King’s Court” featuring Gottmik, Damian Pelliccione, Vico Ortiz, and a bevy of celebrity guest judges, including Dustin Lance Black, Yvie Oddly, Ginger Minj, Henlo Bullfrog, King Perk, Ginger Minj, and so many more!
Consider us seated… officially!
“We are bringing an extraordinary host and group of guest judges to the Kings’ Court,” said Christopher J. Rodriguez, Co-creator and Revry’s Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer in the press release announcing the new judging panel. “Cameron Esposito brings bold new energy and razor-sharp wit to the series, while guest judges Dustin Lance Black, Yvie Oddly, and Ginger Minj turn season two into must-watch television.”
As if that weren’t enough to guarantee that we will be seated for when the show returns, this season will also see a ton of cameo appearances from some of the most beloved cast members of season one, including Tuna Melt, Charles Galin King, Pressure K, Alexander the Great, and Buck Wylde.
“The return of season one standout kings signals more than nostalgia, it’s a direct reinvestment in the drag king community that the show set out to elevate,” said Pelliccione, co-creator and Revry’s co-founder and CEO. “These are artists, activists, and entertainers who understand the power of performance and the importance of uplifting underrepresented voices. We are honored to have them join us again.”
And for those chomping at the bit for more drag kingery, season two promises to be another groundbreaking season highlighting the incredible work, artistry, and the spirit that is alive, thriving, and underrepresented in the drag community. And just how long must we wait for more King of Drag? Well, that might just be the best news of all. The wait is almost over! King of Drag Season 2 will premiere on September 20 exclusively on Revry.
There is so much yet to come in the lead-up to the season, including meeting the much-anticipated season two kings. Needless to say, GO will be covering it all. In the meantime, start planning those watch parties! And check out the judge announcement trailer below!
