Shudder has just announced the contestants of the new season of their hit drag series “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula,” hosted by the iconic horror drag icons The Boulet Brothers.
Dracmorda and Swanthula are on the hunt to find the world’s next drag monster superstar in the star-studded fifth season of their hit reality competition show. With all-new competitors, the challenges, special effects makeup, costumes, and performances promise to be truly terrifying and out of this world.
The Boulets will be joined on the judges panel by legendary figures from the worlds of both horror and drag including director Mike Flannigan (Haunting of Hill House, Midnight Mass), David Dastmalchian (Oppenheimer, Dune, Suicide Squad), author Tananarive Due, writer/director Kevin Smith, musician Jazmin Bean, and Scream star Matthew Lillard (Scream) and more.

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 and 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.
Season five, featuring ten horror-filled episodes, promises to be the biggest and baddest yet, boasting a brand-new state-of-the-art set, an army of new talented crew members, the most diverse cast in the show’s history, and the Boulet Brothers’ themselves taking over as the series’ directors.
The Contestants of Season 5 includes:
THROB ZOMBIE
Hometown: Boston, MA
“Throb Zombie is a horror obsessed Drag King fueled by all things spooky and creepy. With a punk rock aesthetic and a history in burlesque performance, they also love to consistently up the ante on their stage shows with a huge injection of sex appeal. Combining elements of both Drag Kings and Drag Queens, Throb promises to show us an unexpected side to the world of monster drag.”
SATANNA
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
“Satanna is here to raise some hell and show the world that she is as feisty and fiery as she is fierce and talented. Her three greatest strengths are her performance capabilities, her gorgeous make up and her ability to verbally destroy anyone! Her hot pink candy coated exterior betrays the bitchy devil dwelling on the inside. You’ve been warned.”
ONYX ONDYX
Hometown: Philadelphia, PA
“Onyx Ondyx is the commodity of oddities and a self-described “freakshow showgirl” extraordinaire. Onyx is known for her terrifying and show stopping circus side show stunts that keep audiences in Philadelphia coming back for more. With a high pain tolerance and a penchant for stage stunts, Onyx hopes that her unique sideshow skillset will win her the crown.”
ORKGOTIC
Hometown: Buenos Aires, Argentina
“Orkgotik is one of the diverse international competitors on the fifth season of The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula. Hailing from South America, he has come to the US for the first time to compete on the show and feature his truly unique and horrifying drag skills. He uses his experimental prosthetic work to create otherworldly nightmarish visions that celebrate despair, desire, and the darkness that lives in us all.”
NIOHURU X
Hometown: Tianjin, China
“Niohuru is a recent transplant from China who has come to the US to pursue her professional dreams. She is a make-up artist and fashion entrepreneur who uses cutting edge technology to elevate her brand of twisted fashion and hardcore glam. Nio makes up for her lack of stage performance experience with huge amounts of enthusiasm and visionary drag looks.”
JAY KAY
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY.
“Jay Kay is a noxious mix of camp, gender blending and a whole lot of punk rock personality. They are here to be louder, bigger and more annoying than any other competitor to ever grace the Boulet Brothers Dragula stage. They are “the most annoying person you ever met” and hopes that a big personality is enough to bring them to the finale, and ultimately, the title of “The Worlds Next Drag Supermontser”.”
JARVIS HAMMER
Hometown: Atlanta, GA
“Jarvis Hammer not only brings a stunning ghostly visual aesthetic to all of his drag looks but also delivers fabulous performances showcasing his signature comedic styling. With a background in stand-up comedy, they bring a fresh and funny element to the competition. Jarvis is death defyingly dashing, extremely dramatic and very dead.”
FANTASIA ROYALE GAGA
Hometown: Miami, FL
“Fantasia is ready to take on the competition with her dangerous curves, her beautiful face, and her 20+ years of experience as an entertainer. As an iconic fixture in the Miami scene, Fantasia hopes to bury the other competitors with her professionalism, poise, and personality. The body has arrived honey!”
CYNTHIA DOLL
Hometown: Kansas City, MO
“Cynthia terrorizes Kansas City with her high energy performances, her personality and her horror inspired fashion sense. She wouldn’t be caught dead in anything but custom “coutorture” every time she takes the stage. Never “drama” but always “dramatic” Cynthia never starts trouble, but if someone has a problem with her, she promises to end it.”
BLACKBERRI
Hometown: Houston, TX
“Blackberri is known as the bearded beauty of Texas! Her prowess as an MC and her performance abilities have earned her a lot of respect and a lot of success in the Houston scene. She brings a revolving door of talents to the competition including comedy, acting, performance and makeup skills. Blackberri is a jack of all trades and would be very foolish for anyone to underestimate.”
ANNA PHYLACTIC
Hometown: Manchester, England.
” Another international drag artists to enter the competition, Anna brings her many years of experience as a valued member of “the family gorgeous” to the show. Her greatest strengths are her fabulous personality, her theatrical sensibility, and her deadly looks. Anna has a fearless fervor and is ready to throw herself at any challenge The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula puts before her in her pursuit for the title of “Dragula”.”
