The hit drag makeover show We’re Here, which has aired for four seasons on HBO has sadly been cancelled.
The announcement comes as the shows creators took to Instagram to share the news with their fans.
Season for featured four new Drag Race alum hosting the series to positive reviews worldwide.
We’re Here shifted focus for season four
When it first launched in 2020, We’re Here was a hit with audiences around the globe. So much so that the program secured seven Emmy nominations, including four wins during it’s time on air.
The refreshing series featured former Drag Race stares Eureka, Shangela and Bob The Drag Queen touring America, one drag makeover at a time.
After three series We’re Here took viewers by surprise when they overhauled the entire cast for their fourth season.
Replacing the original hosts were season nine Drag Race winner Sasha Velour and Canada’s Drag Race season one winner Priyanka. They were joined by Season twelve winner of Drag Race and Jaida Essence Hall and Drag Race icon Latrice Royale.
While the queens continued to tour the country for their recent season, the focus on the program shifted in the face of a more political climate. The queens shifted from makeovers to activism as the series focussed on the wave of anti LGBTQIA+ sentiment in the US, particularly that targeted towards the Drag community.
