In addition to this, OUTtv has also acquired the feature-length documentary The Queens from PEG. The documentary chronicles over two years in the heels of four of the world's most famous drag queens including former RuPaul's Drag Race winners Jinkx Monsoon and Sharon Needles, former All Stars champion Alaska Thunderf*ck and season 7 and All Stars 3 contestant Katya Zamolodchikova. From performing across world stages to winning (and losing) Drag Race or dealing with major tragedies, The Queens lifts the lace front, giving an insight into one of the most fascinating and quickly ascending entertainment artforms.
PEG has hired award-winning documentarian and filmmaker Adrienne Gruben, of Las Viejitas productions, to co-produce and direct each of the projects.
"We know not everyone gets a chance to see their favorite queens when they tour so we are thrilled that by working with PEG we are able to bring these comedy specials to OUTtv viewers," said Brad Danks. "Trixie, Katya, Bob and Alaska are amongst the most creative, funniest and in-demand queens right now, so we're delighted to showcase these specials on the network."
"Drag as an industry has seen such explosive growth over the past few years, and we could not be happier to showcase the diverse talents of our clients in both the comedy specials and the documentary," said Jacob Slane, Partner and Talent Manager, Producer Entertainment Group. "We are excited to once again be doing business with OUTtv, who has always been a supportive partner to drag artists and to our company."
The four-part comedy special will kick off with Trixie Mattel: Skinny Legend on Thursday September 26th at 10.00pm ET/PT on OUTtv and OUTtvGo, the streaming platform. The Queens will air on Friday September 13th at 10.00pm ET/PT and will also be available on OUTtvGo.
