HBO’s drag reality show “We’re Here” has come to an end.
I can exclusively report that Season 4 was the final installment of the series.
“Although the current run of our show has ended, ‘We’re Here’s’ message of love and acceptance has already made a lasting impact for 2SLGBTQIA+ people across the country,” seris co-creators Johnnie Ingram and Stephen Warren said in statement Friday morning. “Creating ‘We’re Here’ was a dream come true and our hearts are overflowing with love. We are grateful to HBO for giving us this opportunity, to our fierce drag mothers and drag community, to our production team at IPC, and to all those that shared their hearts and stories with us.
“It took a lot of courage, sequins and sweat to make ‘We’re Here,’ and we are so proud to leave behind four Peabody, Critics Choice, GLAAD and Television Academy award winning seasons that are wildly entertaining, enlightening and give hope to anyone struggling to live their truth,” they said.
The first three seasons featured “RuPaul’s Drag Race” stars Bob the Drag Queen, Eureka O’Hara and Shangela traveling to small towns across the United States to give drag makeovers to members of the LGBTQ community and their allies. The fourth season was hosted by Priyanka, Sasha Velour, Latrice Royale and Jaida Essence Hall.
Season 4 premiered April 26, with the final episode airing May 31.

“We are honored to have brought four heartfelt and impactful seasons of ‘We’re Here’ to viewers around the world, amidst ongoing hostility directed at drag performers and aggression towards the LGBTQ+ community at large,” HBO said in a statement.
“The two recent Emmy nominations, along with four previous Emmy wins, a Peabody Award, a Critics Choice Real TV and LGBTQ Award, Television Academy Honors and three GLAAD Media Awards, fill us with enormous pride,” the statement continued. “After bringing the show to over 20 towns across America, the series’ journey has come to an end, with the fourth season being its final. We thank Johnnie Ingram, Steve Warren, Peter LoGreco, all of our fabulous queens and crew for proving countless times that love is stronger than hate.”
