Good news, uglies – The Boulet Brothers return to Shudder and AMC+ this October 1 with the hour and a half-long premiere episode of The Boulet Brothers' Dragula Season 6(66).
All new episodes of the Emmy-nominated reality show will then debut weekly on Tuesdays.
An official press release promises that Season 666 will offer “spine-chilling, extreme physical feats that will push the cast of drag superstars to confront their darkest fears. This 10-episode season is bigger, bloodier, and more brutal than anything that’s come before, featuring expanded “on location” challenges, twisted new themes for the floorshows, cinematic sequences dripping with dread, and innovative drag that will leave viewers gasping.” Hell yeah.
And wait until you see who's joining the Boulet Brothers on the judging panel this year. Season six's gargantuan lineup of celebrity guest judges includes *deep breath* Jennifer Tilly (Actor, Bride of Chucky, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills), Mike Flanagan (Director, Midnight Mass, Haunting of Hill House), Jamie Clayton (Actor, Hellraiser), Tatiana Maslany (Actor, Orphan Black, She-Hulk), Don Mancini (Creator and Writer of Chucky), Justin Simien (Director, The Haunted Mansion, Dear White People), David Dastmalchian (Actor, Late Night with the Devil, Dune, Suicide Squad), Akela Cooper (Writer, Malignant, M3gan, The Nun 2), Joe Bob Briggs & Darcy (Hosts of The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs), Violet Chachki (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Alaska Thunderfck (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Tananarive Due (Author, Horror Historian), Darren Stein (Director, Jawbreaker), Mathieu Cote (Creator of Dead By Daylight), Landon Cider(Winner of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula Season Three) and Niohuru X (Winner of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula Season Five).
AND don't forget that the show has also partnered with Dead By Daylight for a special challenge that will see the winner join the Boulet Brothers as playable skins in the game.
Yep, we can't wait. And neither can the Boulets! From Dracmorda:
“This season, we’re pushing the boundaries of what horror and drag can be. Expect the unexpected, because we’re dragging our monsters deeper into the darkness than ever before,”
Swan adds:
“Each season we strive to unearth the most terrifying and innovative talent, and this year, the competition is deadlier, the challenges are more brutal, the artistry is unmatched, and the fear is real.”
And from Courtney Thomasma, EVP of Streaming for AMC Networks:
“The Boulet Brothers have become a Shudder staple and we are thrilled to have a sixth season of their award-winning Dragula kicking off Shudder’s biggest month of the year […]This series continues to resonate with viewers, and we can’t wait to see what fabulous and haunting visuals they have in store for us this season.”
Naturally, the key art for Season 666 (seen below) is absolutely gag-worthy and wonderfully on brand for the show's most cinematic season yet. See you on October 1, uglies!
