Need a reason to get into the Halloween holiday spirit? Look no further than the fierce and ferocious cast ofThe Boulet Brothers’ Dragula season five!
For weeks The Boulets have been teasing the upcoming season calling it “the biggest and baddest yet, boasting a brand-new state-of-the-art set, an army of new talented crew members, the most diverse cast in the show’s history.”
The duo who have taken on the role of directors for this season also see the upcoming season as the next chapter in Dragula herstory. “We have created four seasons of the main show at this point, and just wrapped our first all stars season with The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans spin-off, and we consider all of that part of “Chapter 1” of the Dragula story. With season 5, we are beginning a new and innovative new chapter of the show, and we’ve retooled and updated the format in an incredibly exciting way.” Says Dracmorda.
“Nobody is going to sail the ship with more passion than us, so we’ve taken over as the show’s directors for season 5, and we’ve brought in some incredibly talented new team members who are really elevating what you will see on-screen,” says Swanthula. “We’re going back to basics with the format, and focusing on the competition element of the show, the incredible artists that we’ve cast and the out-of-this-world looks they create each week, and of course, drag artists doing insanely terrifying and shocking physical challenges on tv. This is the best-looking season of the show yet, and I can’t wait for fans to see these new competitors. They are truly the most impressive drag artists I have ever seen on-screen.”
So who will be competing for the title of World’s Next Drag Supermonster (oh and that cash prize, as well)? Let’s meet the queens, kings, and artists!
