We’re Here, the reality series starring RuPaul’s Drag Race queens changing people’s lives one small town at a time, has been cancelled by HBO.
Variety‘s Marc Malkin exclusively broke the news that the series would end after its most recent fourth season. Season 4 was led by Latrice Royale, Sasha Velour, Jaida Essence Hall and Canada’s Drag Race‘s Priyanka. The first three seasons starred Shangela, Bob the Drag Queen and Eureka O’Hara.
Throughout all four seasons, the queens hosting the series traveled to small towns throughout the country to give LGBTQ people and allies the drag makeover of their dreams. Along with giving them a drag persona and helping them choreograph a number, the queens also imparted confidence and self-esteem, giving them more courage to be themselves in communities that might not always welcome them.
Johnnie Ingram and Stephen Warren, the creators of the series, said in a statement to Variety, “Although the current run of our show has ended, We’re Here’s message of love and acceptance has already made a lasting impact for 2SLGBTQIA+ people across the country.”
“Creating We’re Here was a dream come true and our hearts are overflowing with love,” they continued. “We are grateful to HBO for giving us this opportunity, to our production team at IPC, and to all those that shared their hearts and stories with us. It took a lot courage, sequins and sweat to make We’re Here, and we are so proud to leave behind four Peabody, Critics Choice, GLAAD and Television Academy award winning seasons that are wildly entertaining, enlightening and give hope to anyone struggling to live with their truth.”
