7 Drag Shows to Watch After the Rupaul’s Drag Race Finale

Season 17 of RuPaul's Drag Race is inevitably coming to its natural end, unfortunately. And while we're all waiting for the final battle, I can already tell that the post-finale blues are about to hit hard.

But don't worry, I've got you covered with some seriously great alternatives that'll keep you just as entertained. These 7 shows offer a wide variety of drag excellence. These are my top picks that'll help you survive the craving for more drag TV between seasons.

House of Drag (Since 2018): Low Budget, High Camp

• On IMDb, House of Drag is rated 7.1/10.

Nine fierce queens, one house and enough drama to make for a great season. This New Zealand gem may not have the production values of Drag Race, but what it lacks in budget it makes up for in entertainment value.

“I love House of Drag! It’s a little crunchy, but the performers are highly entertaining and Kita & Anita are a joy as usual. Also stan Hugo Grrrl,” Redditor brookeent wrote.

Catch the first season of House of Drag on OUTtv Apple TV Channel.

Drag House Rules (2025): An Unexpectedly Great Satire

• On IMDb, Drag House Rules is rated 5.3/10.

If the House of Drag is a real competition, then Drag House Rules is a scripted satire. And yes, I know what you're thinking: how can a scripted show about reality TV be any good? But just wait until you watch the show. It will all make sense.

The cast includes: Tammie Brown, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, Jujubee, Manila Luzon, Laganja Estranja and Rock M. Sakura.

“I loved every minute. Tammie Brown is a terrifying and wonderful genius,” Redditor NarwhalsTooth shared.

You can watch Drag House Rules on OUTtv Apple TV Channel.

Camp Wannakiki (Since 2018): Fun and Campy Drag On Full Display

• On IMDb, Camp Wannakiki is rated 8.5/10.

Camp Wannakiki has the most ridiculous camp activities and nightly talent shows. It also has that nice nostalgic feel to it.

“It’s adorable and so funny! I still think about Alexis’ tent dress from season 1 every single day. It’s a very different vibe to drag race but I really enjoy it,” one fan on Reddit noted.

Camp Wannakiki is available on OUTtv Apple TV Channel.

Call Me Mother (Since 2021): Mentorship Is Important

• On IMDb, Call Me Mother is rated 8.1/10.

Three legendary drag queens take promising artists under their wings, creating houses that compete against each other. It's a different format to Drag Race, but fans will feel right at home with Peppermint (US Season 9) and Crystal (UK Season 1) as the mothers.

“Seriously don’t sleep on Call Me Mother - some really fantastic and uplifting drag,” Redditor qualityfinish47 advised.

Watch Call Me Mother on OUTtv Apple TV Channel or for free with ads on The Roku Channel.

We’re Here (2020-2024): An Emotionally Rich Drag Show

• On Rotten Tomatoes, We're Here has 100% from critics and 69% from the audience.
• On IMDb, We're Here is rated 8.2/10.

Not every drag show has to be a competition, and We're Here proves that perfectly. This HBO gem follows drag superstars as they bring their art to small towns of America. It's emotional and shows just how far we still need to go.

“I really liked it. I’ll watch anything with Bob in it but I love the idea of gay people in small towns saying “we are here” as opposed to always having to move to big cities. I definitely found it heart warming, entertaining and emotional,” Redditor yourenotmymawma wrote.

We're Here is available on Max.

Trixie Motel (2022): Business First

• On Rotten Tomatoes, Trixie Motel has 100% from the audience.
• On IMDb, Trixie Motel is rated 7.7/10.

Trixie Motel is a renovation project combined with great entertainment. Trixie is the star of the show, so it's no surprise that it's such a hit.

“Trixie has me in a lock hold for her content. I’m there - I’m loving it - I’m encouraging MORE. Also notice how she gets her friends PAID any chance she gets. She’s real af,” Redditor DRAGchallengeFANGIRL noted.

Trixie Motel is available on Max.

Slaycation (Since 2024): Drag Queens’ Winter Retreat

• On IMDb, Slaycation is rated 8.3/10.

Slaycation brings together international Drag Race favorites for a winter retreat that's equal parts cozy and chaotic. If you’re interested in learning more about what goes on behind the scenes, this is the show for you.

“[Slaycation is] laid back, fun, don't-think-too-much reality TV. It's been fun to zone out to,” Redditor lolopowa said.

You can catch Slaycation on WOW Presents Plus.
