“This is one of the most dynamic, diverse, exciting casts we’ve ever had on Dragula,” said Drac & Swan (the Boulet Brothers) about th cast. “We can’t wait for viewers to fall in love with (and be horrified by) them this season.” Following a monumental past twelve months for The Boulet Brothers, which included the release of the spin-off The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans, a world tour, and The Boulet Brothers’ Halfway to Halloween TV Special (written and directed by the Boulet Brothers), the forthcoming fifth season of the mainline series will deliver a diverse cast from all over the world on an even bigger stage, showcasing some of the best looks and performances in the show’s history, as well as some of the most extreme extermination challenges ever seen. The Boulet Brothers will be welcoming an all-star roster of guest judges to join them throughout the season including director Mike Flanagan (Netflix’s Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass, Doctor Sleep), actor David Dastmalchian (Oppenheimer, Dune, Suicide Squad), author Tannanarive Due, writer / director Kevin Smith, musician Jazmin Bean, and Scream star Matthew Lillard (just to name a few). The show will also feature the series’ first recurring judge in the form of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula season 3 winner Landon Cider, and appearances from past season winners and stars including Victoria Elizabeth Black, Dahli, and Koco Caine. Hosted and created by “horror's new icons" (Fangoria) the Boulet Brothers, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula has become must-see television for horror, drag and reality fans alike. Showcasing some of the finest artists in the world specializing in the franchise’s four pillars of Drag, Filth, Horror, & Glamour, The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula has cultivated a devoted and continually growing fan base. 2022’s The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans all-star season was a huge hit for Shudder making The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula the most watched series franchise on Shudder over the last year.
