“The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula” has quickly become a Halloween season staple on horror streaming service Shudder, and that continues with season six’s premiere this October. Today brings the annoucement of the new cast ahead of the upcoming season’s arrival.
The series and its hosts return for a supersized, hour and a half-long season six premiere episode on Tuesday, October 1 on Shudder and AMC+. Following the premiere, all-new hour-long episodes will debut weekly on Tuesdays.
Dubbed “Season 666,” the next chapter of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula is the most ambitious and terrifying yet, with world-renowned actors and directors joining the judges’ panel, raising the stakes to hellish new heights. Every episode promises spine-chilling, extreme physical feats that will push the cast of drag superstars to confront their darkest fears. This 10-episode season is bigger, bloodier, and more brutal than anything that’s come before, featuring expanded “on location” challenges, twisted new themes for the floorshows, cinematic sequences dripping with dread, and innovative drag that will leave viewers gasping. The cast will include:
- AUNTIE HERONIE, Rockford, Illinois
- AURORORA GOZMIC, Chicago, Illinois
- ASIA CONSENT, Portland, Oregon
- DESIREE DIK, Washington, D.C.
- GREY MATTER, Houston, Texas
- JAHARIA, Kansas City, Missouri

Dracmorda Boulet said in a statement, “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.
