       Hit Revry Series Renewed for Season 2   
       -------------------------------------   
       A hit drag competition series is heading back to screens with   
       a new installment on the way. The Revry original will return   
       for a second season following the performance of its debut   
       run.   
      
       King of Drag Season 2 renewed at Revry   
       Variety reported that Revry renewed King of Drag for a second   
       season. The show opened casting applications for Season 2 on   
       Tuesday and will premiere the new season in the fall.   
      
       "The success of Season 1 made it clear that the reign of the   
       drag kings is upon us," Revry co-founder and chief creative   
       officer Christopher J. Rodriguez stated. "This community has   
       been vying for a platform to highlight their unique take on   
       drag for years, and they've embraced the show as their own,   
       which is such an honor for us. We're also honored to welcome   
       back e.l.f. Cosmetics as our presenting sponsor for the   
       triumphant return of this beloved franchise. We could not hope   
       for a better partner to join us in unleashing a new group of   
       supremely talented drag kings onto the world stage."   
      
       Murray Hill hosted Season 1. Sasha Velour, Gottmik, Tenderoni,   
       and Wang Newton served as regular judges. Revry co-founder and   
       CEO Damian Pelliccione was also part of the judging panel.   
      
       Further, guest judges included Cole Escola, Lisa Rinna, Paul   
       Feig, Bridget Everett, Jeff Hiller, Landon Cider, and Vico   
       Ortiz. King Molasses won the season after weeks of   
       competition.   
      
       "'King of Drag' is giving this art form the global spotlight   
       it's always deserved," Pelliccione said. He also noted that   
       Season 1 showed a worldwide audience for the series, and added   
       that Season 2 will introduce a new group of drag kings to   
       viewers everywhere.   
      
       The first season surpassed 32 million views and generated over   
       30 million social media impressions, as per Revry. It also   
       earned two nominations at the 2026 Queerty Awards.
