A bunch of your favourite RuPaul's Drag Race stars are heading for middle-America in a new HBO unscripted TV series titled We're Here.
It was announced yesterday that queens, including Bob the Drag Queen, Shangela, and Eureka O’Hara, would participate in the new six-part series, which recruits “small-town residents across America to participate in a one-night-only drag show.”
The show, which appears to take a little inspiration from the success of Netflix's Queer Eye reboot, as well as 90s road-trip movie To Wong Foo, will see the three drag queens makeover and inspire a number of "drag daughters" to push themselves beyond their limits “for a night of no-holds-barred, full-on drag.”
Bob the Drag Queen shared the news on social media, writing: "The secret is OUT!!!! I’ve been working on a new series with @HBO called WE’RE HERE, traveling to small towns across the country with my gal pals @itsshangela and @eurekaohara empowering local communities with the magic of drag!"
“Drag is about confidence and self expression,” Nina Rosenstein, executive vice president of HBO programming, said in a statement, according to NewNowNext.
“We are so thrilled to showcase the transformative power of the art form with our audience.”
The series is the latest in a growing number of drag queen spin-off shows, including Alyssa Edwards' Dancing Queen and TLC series Drag Me Down The Aisle, which featured Bebe Zahara Benet, Thorgy Thor, Jujubee, and Alexis Michelle giving bridal makeovers.
It also comes ahead of the new Drag Race celebrity spin-off, which will see Drag Race favourites makeover new celebrities each episode.
Well, that's our summer viewing sorted!
