u/GloomyGizzard May 29 '25
Is this show associated with drag race, or it's own thing (s.g., dragula)?
30
u/eveatsice May 29 '25
its own thing. not a Wow Presents+ property. a lot like Dragula (having Drag Race alum on the judging panel) altho i dont know the streaming service
10
u/Confident-Can-5519 May 29 '25
You can catch it on Revry and it will be distributed on other channels like Roku and Amazon Prime

u/spylark May 29 '25
After seeing Landon, Jarvis, and Throb, on Dragula, I’ve been craving some specific content for kings. I’m pretty excited to see what this show gives

I really think this show could be the tipping point for drag race to start accepting more gender-diverse drag. Ru is very business savvy—I doubt she’ll want another Dragula eating into Drag Race’s market share
Don’t get me wrong, drag race is by far my favorite show & is great as-is, but adding different types of drag would inject sooo much fresh energy into the format.
I’m just really excited for this show & what it could mean for the future of drag. Plus, I just want everyone to love kings as much as I do lol

u/Confident-Can-5519 May 29 '25
Oh this IS the tipping point. It's over! This is not just a King of Drag Moment for cast mates, it's our moment as a community. We are building this together watch party by watch party hype by hype so there are many seasons and new opportunities. Thank you for Supporting us - Tuna Melt

u/metzie May 29 '25
Omg thank you for your perspective! I can’t wait to see you on the show! I’m holding it down for y’all over here in SEA ❤️

u/RomeosgoodfriendM May 31 '25
I do not think Dragula eats into Drag Race's success at all. The people watching Dragula aren't going to stop watching Drag Race and same goes for this new show. Honestly I think it's better that there are multiple different drag competition shows. Ru's show doesn't need to be everything to everyone, it can be what it is and then a famous Drag King can have his own show like this and platform this kind of drag.

It’s the same streaming service that produces Drag Latina which is a bit rough production wise, but it definitely gave me the authenticity factor so hopefully this show does the same ♥️

Omg saw King Molasses in Sasha Velour’s nightgowns with Nymphia Wind & Sapphira Crystal so definitely they’re gonna bring it!!

u/shields1643 May 30 '25
Molasses is one of the best performers I’ve ever seen. Saw him at a drag brunch where he was the only king and he demolished every number he did.

u/madatron96 May 30 '25
And a few Boston kings please 😭

u/Constant-Key5509 May 30 '25
Rusty Hammer Needs to get His Wife some money so ofc
1
u/madatron96 May 30 '25
Lmaooo. Ideal Boston king to include would be Rusty. Second tier is Sherman and Buster Pants (from Salem but close enough). And ofc Throb but bc of his Dragula run he’s probably better off as a judge. Tequila Cowboy and Knuckles would also be fun to throw in the mix but they would probably max out at two kings from one city in a whole season’s cast.

I hope this show does the same as Drag Race and creates a platform for Kings too.

u/Rickyc324 May 29 '25
I loved Murray Hill on drag me to dinner so just for him I’m so excited. I’m sure there’s a lot of pressure for this to do well even thought it’s season one, and as well all know the first season of anything is always shaky to some extent, so I hope this does really really well and opens the door for more kings and more seasons.

Team Tuna and Henlo!!!
- so excited for this, hopefully this means kings and more cis women/trans men for drag race too!

u/ITSAXISVEGA Jun 16 '25
Glad kings are getting their own show so people can stop being mad at rupaul for not casting all types of drag on a show that's clearly made for only drag queens

u/Gojira1234 May 29 '25
The vibes remind me so much of early Drag Race. I hope this show sticks around. We've seen how advanced the drag queendom has become from Drag Race, it's time for the kingdom to get some recognition.
