Dracmorda Boulet said, “This cast is incredible, and we can’t wait for the world to get to know them and watch their stories unfold. They are a lot less safe and less worried about the fans’ potential reactions to them than casts in recent seasons have been, so there is a definite return to drama this season, and it will keep you on the edge of your seat.” Swanthula Boulet added: "Everything is bigger, better, and more developed this year from the challenges and themes to the locations and looks, but you see it especially in the exterminations. Every single episode pushes the envelope on terror and shows the cast facing their worst fears, and it’s very compelling. This absolutely is our best season yet." The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula is an edge-of-your-seat reality show and competition that brings together extreme drag artists from around the world to compete in jaw-dropping challenges including costume design and creation, makeup and special effects, live performance, and craftsmanship. Contestants battle for a $100,000 grand prize, a headlining spot on a world tour, and the coveted Dragula crown. Each week, they must create stunning looks and special effects makeup inspired by themes like horror, sci-fi, the supernatural, and fantasy. This isn't your typical reality show—those who fall short must face their deepest fears in terrifying physical challenges, from being buried alive to skydiving and enduring swarms of spiders. Hosted by modern-day horror icons and drag superstars The Boulet Brothers, the series has captivated audiences across six seasons, a “best of the best” spin-off called The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans, and a television special, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Resurrection. Season six is executive produced and directed by the Boulet Brothers. David Sigurani also serves as Executive Producer.
