The Boulet Brothers assure viewers that this season’s cast is dynamic, diverse, and downright exciting. “This is one of the most dynamic, diverse, exciting casts we’ve ever had on Dragula,” said Drac & Swan (the Boulet Brothers). “We can’t wait for viewers to fall in love with (and be horrified by) them this season.”

In The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, the hunt is on to find the world’s next drag monster superstar. With a fresh batch of competitors, the challenges promise to be truly terrifying and out of this world. Joining the judges panel are legendary figures from horror and drag, including director Mike Flannigan, David Dastmalchian, Tananarive Due, Kevin Smith, Jazmin Bean, and Scream star Matthew Lillard, along with recurring judge Landon Cider and appearances from past season winners and stars.

Following the success of the all-star season in 2022, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula remains Shudder’s most-watched series franchise over the past year.
