HBO Cancels 'We're Here'

No Season 5 for the unscripted series.

September 6, 2024

Word is out that HBO has cancelled We're Here after four seasons. The news comes three months after the unscripted series wrapped its now-final run.

"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," said HBO 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. 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."

The series traverses the country to see what happens when small-town residents are recruited and trained to participate in a one-night drag performance. Former contestants from 'RuPaul's Drag Race' are along for the ride to help prepare their 'drag daughters' by teaching them how to step outside of their comfort zones.
