‘We’re Here’ shocker: Original hosts exit HBO’s drag reality series as new queens step in
We’re Here.But just because the show is losing its stars, that doesn’t mean the sun’s setting on this small-town drag makeover show.
Instead, three new fierce and fabulous queens are stepping in and stepping up.As reported by EW, We’re Here is welcoming three crowned queens to its drag family: RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12 champ and “Legendary Legend” All Stars 7 competitor Jaida Essence Hall, the first-ever winner of Canada’s Drag Race (and recent Lip-Sync Assassin) Priyanka, and published author/Drag Race season 9 victor Sasha Velour.
This is (almost) a bigger gag than the time Sasha removed her wig to reveal a bunch of rose petals in her Lip Sync For The Crown.
Almost!Additionally, Variety reports that, instead of the usual format—where, each episode, queens arrived to a new small town, met their new “drag daughters,” and worked with them to put on a one-night-only show, teaching and learning important lessons about forgiveness along the way—the new season would instead focus on two towns, across six episodes.It’s said the series’ new structure will allow it to take “an in-depth and more immersive look at the local political systems and participants, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and opposition, and their effect on the LGBTQ+ community.”This talented artist is turning your favorite drag superstars into minifigures, brick by brick.The overhaul comes in the wake of a former We’re Here production assistant accusing Shangela of abuse and sexual assault during production of the series in 2020.
