A hit drag competition series is heading back to screens with

King of Drag Season 2 renewed at Revry
Variety reported that Revry renewed King of Drag for a second
season. The show opened casting applications for Season 2 on
Tuesday and will premiere the new season in the fall.

"The success of Season 1 made it clear that the reign of the
drag kings is upon us," Revry co-founder and chief creative
officer Christopher J. Rodriguez stated. "This community has
been vying for a platform to highlight their unique take on
drag for years, and they've embraced the show as their own,
which is such an honor for us. We're also honored to welcome
back e.l.f. Cosmetics as our presenting sponsor for the
triumphant return of this beloved franchise. We could not hope
for a better partner to join us in unleashing a new group of
supremely talented drag kings onto the world stage."

Murray Hill hosted Season 1. Sasha Velour, Gottmik, Tenderoni,
and Wang Newton served as regular judges. Revry co-founder and
CEO Damian Pelliccione was also part of the judging panel.

Further, guest judges included Cole Escola, Lisa Rinna, Paul
Feig, Bridget Everett, Jeff Hiller, Landon Cider, and Vico
Ortiz. King Molasses won the season after weeks of
competition.

"'King of Drag' is giving this art form the global spotlight
it's always deserved," Pelliccione said. He also noted that
Season 1 showed a worldwide audience for the series, and added
that Season 2 will introduce a new group of drag kings to
viewers everywhere.

The first season surpassed 32 million views and generated over
30 million social media impressions, as per Revry. It also
earned two nominations at the 2026 Queerty Awards.
