HBO's drag makeover docuseries "We're Here" are bringing in some new queens for Season 4.
As reported by Entertainment Weekly, "RuPaul's Drag Race" alums Bob the Drag Queen, Shangela, and Eureka are saying goodbye to the show after leading the first three seasons. For the next season, "Drag Race" Season 9 winner Sasha Velour, Season 12 champion and "All Stars" Season 7 queen Jaida Essence Hall, and "Canada's Drag Race" Season 1 victor Priyanka will be taking over as hosts.
"In this increasingly hostile political climate, we are grateful to [HBO] for their dedication to telling LGBTQ+ stories that meet the moment and document our history," shared show co-creator Johnnie Ingram on Instagram. "We are thrilled to expand our drag family and grateful for and give much needed love to the people on the front lines of hate."
Queens Bob, Shangela, and Eureka released a joint statement about their time on the show:
"We are extremely grateful for the opportunity we had the past three seasons to travel across the country, share our experiences and connect with all of the courageous individuals who entrusted us with their stories," they said. "Our journey has inspired hope and sparked important conversations while empowering unique voices and opening new doors. As we move forward with our exciting individual projects, we welcome Sasha Velour, Priyanka and Jaida Essence Hall, and wish them the best on continuing this work during an increasingly difficult time for the LGBTQ+ community."
Bravo and bring on the new season! A premiere date has not been announced for the new season, but this casting is sure to generate lots of buzz.
