We're Here

New queens Sasha Velour, Priyanka, and Jaida Essence Hall jump in where they're needed most: Murfreesboro, TN, a city that canceled Pride following a statewide anti-drag ban. They meet Maleeka, who is tired of "passing" and ready to start living; musician Bradford, who wants to be a better ally for his kids; and Norm, a seasoned drag performer with a heavy heart.

After a successful open drag show, Sasha, Priyanka, and Jaida begin planning an even larger event for the center of town. Meanwhile, Priyanka welcomes her first drag daughter Princey, whose out and proud wrestling persona "Pha'Nesse" is his polar opposite. Then, the queens risk getting arrested for attending a town hall meeting in full drag attire.

After the town hall meeting goes worse than expected, Sasha, Priyanka, and Jaida refocus their attention on their drag children. As everyone prepares to take the stage, the queens hope their "kids" are met with love and acceptance by the local community.

After cautions from the Bartlesville local equality group, Sasha, Priyanka, and Latrice grow more determined than ever to show up for the queer community – but securing a venue for their show proves increasingly difficult. Then, as Latrice finds unexpected healing in Tulsa, the Queens meet Jess, who needs a little help living her truth.

As the crowd for their park gathering grows, the Queens vow to meet the hate with even louder outpourings of love. Then, after finally securing an unconventional venue, Sasha, Priyanka, and Latrice – along with their drag daughters – prepare for an epic drag show of biblical proportions.
