Shudder has announced the much-anticipated renewal of the groundbreaking reality competition series, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula. The series, hailed by Entertainment Weekly as “one of the foremost queer competitions on television,” is set to return for a sixth season following the resounding success of its current fifth season, ranking among Shudder’s most-watched titles of the year.
The Boulet Brothers, Dracmorda and Swanthula, expressed their excitement about the renewal, stating, “With season 5, we took the show in a new direction, and the response from the fans was overwhelmingly positive. Now, with the 6th season, we plan on leaning into this bold, new direction even further and truly pushing the creative limits of the show to new heights!”
Courtney Thomasma, EVP of Streaming for AMC Networks, added, “We are delighted for The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula to return to Shudder for a sixth season and can’t wait to continue our collaboration with this talented team. Each season seems to outdo the next in terms of scale, scope, contestants, entertainment, and all-around fabulousness.”
The ongoing fifth season, the Boulet’s most expansive production yet, boasts a state-of-the-art set, a diverse cast, and the Boulet Brothers taking on the role of series directors. Notable guest judges, including director Mike Flanagan and actor David Dastmalchian, have contributed to the series’ growing popularity among horror, drag, and reality fans.
Hosted and created by the Boulet Brothers, dubbed “horror’s new icons” by Fangoria, Dragula showcases artists specializing in the franchise’s four pillars of Drag, Filth, Horror, & Glamour. The series has garnered a devoted and growing fan base, making it the most-watched series franchise on Shudder over the past year.
The announcement of season six follows a string of successes for the Boulets, including the acclaimed The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans spinoff series, a world tour of live performances, and winning “Best Makeup – Daytime TV” at the 2023 Makeup and Hair Stylists Awards.
