King of Drag

Lights, camera, action! Eight new Kings arrive in Hollywood ready to battle for the crown as Cameron Esposito takes the reins as the new host of King of Drag, presented by e.l.f. Cosmetics. For their first Beefy Challenge, the Kings pair up to create their own original movie concepts, complete with blockbuster posters and live, trailer-worthy performances. Academy Award-winning screenwriter and director Dustin Lance Black joins the Kings’ Court as special guest judge — and a surprise twist starts the season off on a wild ride!

Things get freaky when the Kings enter a haunted carnival for a night of horror! First, they create fabulous and fearsome facial hair — without using any actual hair — in the “Bearded, Bedazzled and Beheaded” Weenie Challenge. Then, for “Assigned Freak at Birth,” the kings reclaim what makes them different by creating sinister circus characters and terrifying theatrical performances. RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Yvie Oddly joins the Kings’ Court for a frightfully fierce night of competition.

Bring on the funny! The Kings kick off Comedy Week with “Clown Car Countdown,” racing against the clock to create Glamour Clown makeup while riding through the streets of Los Angeles. Then, they transform into famous faces and reveal some unexpected talents in The Dong Show, King of Drag’s outrageous celebrity impersonation talent show. Comedian Dana Goldberg and Season One favorite Big D join the Kings’ Court for a night of big laughs and unforgettable performances!

Saddle up, Kings — it’s Country Week! With no Weenie Challenge in sight, the remaining Kings go straight for the beef as they split into two country bands to write and record original songs that put a Drag King spin on the hyper-masculine world of country music. Then, they hit the Royal Hall to perform their new country hits with full choreography. Singer-songwriter Frankie Simone and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars winner Ginger Minj join the Kings’ Court for one rootin’, tootin’ showdown.

Once upon a time, five Kings entered a magical kingdom with the finale within reach! First, the Kings become “Fairy Godfathers,” using their makeup skills to transform members of the Trans Latina Coalition into gorgeous princes. Then, for the “Suit Yourself” Beefy Challenge, they transform ordinary suits into elevated, avant-garde fantasy ensembles fit for a royal ball. Actor, model, and advocate Laith Ashley joins the Kings’ Court for a magical night where the stakes have never been higher.
