The horror gods have smiled upon us! Boulet Brothers’ Dragula has landed on Netflix and we could not be more excited to share the news. Drag, Filth, Horror & Glamour! These are the tenants of the Boulet Brothers’ Dragula, the hit underground reality competition show that (following a hugely successful third season) just found its new home on the world’s top streaming platform: Netflix.

Why is this important to horror fans of all genders and orientations? Because as Fangoria puts it, “Nothing about Dragula feels safe, and that’s because it’s a reminder that much like horror, drag is as political and unsafe as it gets.‍” They also went on to say that The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula “Required Horror Viewing”.

So what is Dragula?

The show is created and hosted by drag horror icons the Boulet Brothers who (each season) challenge eleven drag artists from around the world to compete in a wild, no holds barred drag competition to win $25,000.00 and the crown of Dragula – the World’s Next Drag Supermonster. The show has the cast competing in all things required of a drag superstar – costume creation, special effects makeup, live performance and acting abilities, but it also takes these traditional challenges one step further. For the contestants who end up on the bottom each week, they must face terrifying and gruesome physical and mental challenges to prove they have the guts and glamour to remain in the competition. From jumping out of airplanes to eating live spiders, getting terrible tattoos and taking lie detector tests, the show presents drag in a way that has never been seen on television before and audiences can’t get enough.

This past season the Boulet Brothers were also joined by an all-star lineup of celebrity judges from the worlds of horror, entertainment and music including Henry Rollins(Black Flag),Bonnie Aarons(The Nun), Millie Shapiro(Hereditary), Rachel True(The Craft), Danielle Harris(Halloween 4, 5) , Felissa Rose(Sleepaway Camp), Michael Varrati(Dead for Filth) and Darren Stein(Jawbreaker).

The show is taking both queer and horror audiences by storm, as the third season of the series broke viewer records all over the world. After trending on Amazon Prime for several weeks, it was the #1 purchased reality show on iTunes in the U.S. & U.K. for several weeks in September, and accounted for the top five viewed shows on OUTtvoverall, outperforming the previous season by 196%.

The show also made history this season by inviting drag kings, AFAB queens, non binary and trans drag artists to compete on the show, a move that opened up a larger discussion about exclusivity and inclusion on tv in the queer community. In addition, the finale of the show saw drag king Landon Cider snatch the crown, becomig the first female competitor and drag king to win a drag competition show on a major platform.
