Written by John Edward Betancourt

It is definitely safe to say that the Boulet Brothers are everywhere in horror news as of late, and rightfully so. Because this duo has taken the horror world by storm, courtesy of their new partnership with Shudder. Since that allowed for The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula to realize its full potential on the network and the brilliant work put forth in that new season and the incredible horror lessons present in that competition… has elevated the Brothers Boulet to true icon status and well, they’re not done with their work or making headlines just yet.

Because earlier today, Shudder announced the release date and details of the previously untitled Boulet Brothers project that the network agreed to help them produce as part of that partnership and well, coming to learn that we are weeks away from The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans, made for a wonderful day for us horror fans. Since we are about to be treated to an epic competition from a franchise that continues to blaze trails at every turn and well, without further ado, here are the details and that aforementioned release date for this series… courtesy of Shudder and the Boulet Brothers.

'Just in time for the scariest month of the year, drag legends The Boulet Brothers and Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streamer for horror, thrillers and the supernatural, announced today a new spin-off series, “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans.” Based on the popular competition reality show “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula,” the series will debut with a two-episode premiere on Tuesday, October 25 on Shudder and AMC+ with subsequent episodes rolling out weekly. Key art and new imagery have also been released for the upcoming series.
 
Hosted and created by “horror's new icons" (Fangoria) the Boulet Brothers, “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans” will be a ten-episode spin-off series starring some of the most popular drag icons from the show’s previous seasons competing in a grand championship of drag artistry and shocking physical challenges for a one hundred-thousand-dollar grand prize, the headlining spot on the upcoming world tour and the first ever “Dragula Titans” crown and title.
 
While fans of the series will feel right at home watching this spin-off, “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans” offers a new format that promises a haunted mansion full of shocking twists and turns that take place in a brand-new “underworld” set that was built just for the season.
 
“We wanted the show to feel familiar to fans, but we also wanted the set and format to feel elevated from a regular season in order to match the incredible talent of the artists we’ve brought together” says the Boulet Brothers. “There are so many shocking twists and turns this year that the competitors affectionately renamed the show “Gagula” during filming, and we really can’t wait for audiences to see it - this show is truly the most compelling content we’ve created to date.”
 
“The Boulet Brothers and our previous ‘Dragula’ series have attracted a wonderfully passionate, engaged and diverse fanbase and we’re delighted to bring them even more of the content they crave with this next competition series, especially during our biggest, most celebrated month of the year,” said Craig Engler, GM of Shudder.

Along with returning fan favorite competitors (to be announced at a later date), there will also be a rotating cast of guest judges from the show’s past and present, including horror icon Cassandra Peterson (Elvira), Harvey Guillen (What We Do In The Shadows), Justin Simien (director of Disney’s upcoming Haunted Mansion film), David Dastmalchian (Dune, Suicide Squad), pop metal princess Poppy, drag superstars Alaska and Katya, and horror royalty Joe Bob Briggs (“Last Drive In”), Bonnie Aarons (The Nun) and Barbara Crampton (Reanimator, Jakob’s Wife) to name a few, with surprise guests making unannounced appearances along the way.
 
“The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans” is the first project to be rolled out as part of the duo’s recent multi-project deal with Shudder. Announced via Variety, the partnership will also include a new season in the main “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula” series, as well as some other yet to be announced projects.
 
The Boulet Brothers have become the go-to source for horror commentary in the pop culture zeitgeist. The Boulet Brothers are entrepreneurial multi-hyphenates who have their claws in all aspects of their creative projects, be it in the writing, artistic vision, illustration, music production, costume design, logistical coordination or business affairs.

From appearing on the cover of legendary magazines like Fangoria & Heavy Metal, to emceeing at high-profile horror conventions, to coverage in Entertainment Weekly, The Onion AV Club, The Advocate, Alternative Press and more, to cultivating a robust and dedicated following via “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula,” the duo of Dracmorda and Swanthula have and will continue to break boundaries and broaden horizons within both horror and queer communities. The Boulet Brothers appear as key commentators on the recent acclaimed Shudder original series “Behind the Monsters” and also appeared on the streamer’s popular show “The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs.” Previous seasons of “The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula” can also be seen on Shudder.

The Boulet Brothers are represented by CAA and managed by PEG.
