Revry’s "King of Drag" Announces Season Two

Feb. 23, 2026

Revry, the world’s first LGBTQ+ streaming network, announced today that its groundbreaking reality competition series, King of Drag, will return for a second season this year, with casting applications officially opening February 17. The announcement was made by series co-creators, executive producers, and Revry Co-Founders Damian Pelliccione and Christopher J. Rodriguez. The highly anticipated Season Two will premiere this fall, with e.l.f Cosmetics returning as a presenting sponsor. 

Christopher J. Rodriguez, Revry’s Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer said:

“The success of Season One made it clear that the reign of the drag kings is upon us! 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.”  

 

Following the success of the inaugural season, King of Drag continues its mission to bring focus to the overlooked talents, artistry, and cultural impact of drag kings–performers who often hail from the lesbian, trans masc, nonbinary, and queer communities. With unique performance challenges designed to test each king’s originality and showmanship (from clown comedy to horror and more), the series celebrates masculinity, performance, and artistic storytelling. 

After weeks of competition, King Molasses emerged as the season’s winner, earning the crown for his undeniable presence and sharp comedic instincts. Molasses went on to gain widespread media exposure and inclusion in the 2025 Out100.

Damian Pelliccione, Revry’s Co-Founder and CEO, who also serves on the show’s “Kings’ Court” judging panel said:

“King of Drag is giving this art form the global spotlight it’s always deserved. Season One proved there is a genuine hunger and worldwide audience for it. We’re building Season Two for them, and for a new batch of drag kings ready to share their talent with viewers everywhere. It’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity for everyone involved.”

 

Since its debut last May, King of Drag has received considerable audience and industry attention. The inaugural season has surpassed 32 million views to date, sparked more than 200 global watch parties (including Brazil, Paris, London, Taiwan, South Africa, and more), yielded more than 30 million social media impressions, and over 3.8 billion press impressions. The series has also earned two 2026 Queerty Awards nominations, further cementing its place as a defining new entry in queer entertainment.  

The new season will introduce new competitors, celebrity guest judges, and fresh creative challenges, which will be announced in the coming months.
