Season 1:
New York's fiercest drag queens vie for adoration, adulation and validation. Disenfranchised after the 2016 presidential elections, Marti Gould Cummings finds himself using his platform as a drag performer to realize his political ambitions.
As her inaugural performance at Gurlesque approaches, Brita Filter begins to examine the impact drag has had on her physical and emotional health.
Marti wants to have kids. He's invited to lead Drag Queen Story Hour to experience what it's like to spend time with them. Holly needs Tina's help to prep for Paige's upcoming competition, So You Think You Can Drag. Tina is reluctant.
Brita's producing a pageant and Jasmine desperately wants in. Worried what might happen if she loses, Brita hesitates to say yes. Tina convinces Jasmine to do something other than drag, so they set out on an adventure in Queens.
Eager to find love, Holly and Brita are desperate to hit the dating scene again. Jasmine steps in to help the boys get primped and polished. Tina's apartment is overflowing with wigs and gowns, so Marti offers to help clear the clutter.
Paige Turner kicks off the final season of her legendary show, So You Think You Can Drag. Holly is competing this time around, and Tina and Chelsea are here to make sure she can take home the crown. Meanwhile, Brita and Jasmine join Marti at drag queen spin class.
Working overtime, but not having enough to show for it, Brita and Holly turn to Paige Turner for help with money matters. Jasmine and Marti go in search of a new faith community, a not-so-easy task for two NYC drag queens.
Marti records a Christmas album with the help of Blake, Broadway legends and fellow queens Jasmine and Tina. William returns from a musical theatre tour and reflects on his struggles with poverty as a young artist in NYC.
As Paige preps for the show, Holly decides to take her drag career to the next level.
Tina and the other girls hit the road for the Miss'd America pageant in Atlantic City. All eyes are on them as they hit the Borgata stage to prove who's the top queen. Brita takes a much needed day off from drag for a very special mother and son date.
Marti decides to take his political career to the next level. Can he get the queens and others to truly care about local politics? William teaches dance to LGBTQ youth, prompting him to re-examine his past homeless in New York City.
