Slag Wars S2 is seven-episode season that sees the return of season one hosts Rebecca More and Matthew Camp. Alongside them is Fantasia Royale Gaga, who joins them in the search for the next international queer sex symbol.
Produced by Daddy TV, the series features a cast of adult performers, sideshow and burlesque artists, and exotic dancers who all believe they have the creativity, sex appeal, and business savvy to keep the Destroyer legacy alive.
Season one of Slag Wars became a pop culture phenomenon.
In a piece titled “Please Let Slag Wars Be Queer Reality TV’s Future”, Vulture called the show “extraordinarily fresh”, and Daily Beast hailed it as “so inclusive and refreshingly diverse that it could be used as a blueprint for all reality shows.”
Season two will premiere alongside a documentary-style episode that features a deep dive into the cultural impact of the first Slag Wars and celebrates the show’s legacy. The episode will also be dedicated to its late co-host, Sophie Anderson, who passed away suddenly late last year. The show will follow up with weekly episode drops of the latest contest to be crowned the Next Destroyer.
When asked what sets the second season apart from the first, Philip Webb of OUTtv told QX: “We wanted to capture that same free-spirited energy that the audience fell in love with on the original season – so it’s very similar, actually! Our cast is a bit more diverse, and we’ve moved to a point system since almost no one went home the first time around anyway. But in general, I hope fans are going to be thrilled.”
