We get it, dinner parties can be a bit of a drag. But that’s not the case for the upcomingHulucompetition showDrag Me To Dinner. The series is a send-up of the ever-popular reality competition shows but with a drag twist, and ahead of its release, Hulu has debuted several first-look images along with the series' glittery, glamorous, and hilarious cast.
The fourth-wall-breaking new series is a sendup of traditional reality competition shows. Each episode will feature two teams of successful drag queens as they go head-to-head, and wig-to-wig, to try and throw the most fabulous dinner party. These dinner parties will be assessed by three judges,Neil Patrick Harris, drag superstarBianca Del Rio, andHaneefah Wood. The series is hosted by New York City legendMurray Hill. Each episode will center on a unique theme, and competitors will be assessed on the following criteria: food and drink, design and decor, as well as entertainment and the overall vibe. At the end of each episode, one team will walk away with the grand prize, The Glorious Golden Grater.
Anything But a Drag
New images, released today, show just how much fun is ahead forDrag Me To Dinner. One image shows judges Neil Patrick Harris, Bianca Del Rio, and Haneefah Wood along with series producerDavid Burtka. They are gathered by a bar, each with a drink, and each dressed to stun. Hill’s pink bow tie is a particular standout. Another image shows Burtka assisting two competitors in unmolding a particularly difficult dish. Yet another image shows the judges toasting a competing team’s dinner, each holding a coup glass adorned with strawberries. The competitors are dressed in their red best. The new series is a great addition to the increase in drag content in recent years, a trend started byRuPaul’s Drag Race,which just revealed its eighth season’s cast.
