Christopher J. Rodriguez, Co-creator and Revry’s Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer said:

“We are bringing an extraordinary host and group of guest judges to the Kings’ Court. 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 2 into must-watch television.”

 

Damian Pelliccione, Co-creator and Revry’s Co-Founder and CEO said:

“The return of Season 1 standout kings signals more than nostalgia, it's a direct reinvestment in the drag king community that the show set out to elevate. 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.”

 

King of Drag continues its mission to bring focus to the overlooked talents, artistry, and cultural impact of drag kings, performers who often hail from the lesbian, trans masc, nonbinary, and queer communities. Season 2 promises more unique challenges that will test each king’s originality and showmanship. Through performance and artistry, Season 2 doesn't just celebrate masculinity, it reimagines it, with e.l.f. Cosmetics being the tool that reclaims and evolves what masculinity can be.

Following the runaway success of King of Drag Season 1 – which surpassed 33 million minutes watched, 2.2 million show viewers, 3.8 billion media impressions to date across broadcast and digital media, sparked more than 200 global watch parties, and earned two 2026 Queerty Awards nominations – Season 2 promises an even bigger stage for the next class of drag kings.
