RuPaul’s Drag Race has a new TV rival as first drag king reality competition announced

After years of RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni begging the show’s producers to cast a drag king, they’ve been beaten to it: the first ever drag king reality TV competition is coming in 2025.

King of Drag will be hosted by trans actor, comedian and New York City drag king legend Murray Hill, and will feature eight of America’s best drag kings battling it out to be named the titular King of Drag.

The drag stars will compete in challenges and get to show their “unique talents including comedy, unconventional performances, and timely commentary on masculinity, which has been part of the drag king subculture for decades,” according to a statement.

“In each episode, we will learn more about the individual king’s backstory, what motivates them, and their goals for kinging.”
