HBO Makeover Show ‘We’re Here’ Takes on Drag Bans With a Recast Season 4: TV Review


The fourth season of HBO drag makeover show 'We're Here' introduces a new cast, a more serialized format, and a political focus on drag bans.

For three seasons, a group of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alumni have traveled to small towns throughout the country, helping members of the local LGBTQ community assert their identity and visibility through gender-bending performances. But even a project that deliberately targets places where gay and trans people might feel cut off from a sense of camaraderie — many locations are scattered throughout the South and Midwest, with occasional detours to California and Hawai’i — didn’t anticipate their own art form coming under such intense public scrutiny. The first arc, which concluded last Friday, takes “We’re Here” to the battlefront of the culture wars: Tennessee, a state that attempted to severely restrict drag in a 2023 law that was quickly suspended via injunction, though the statute remains under appeal in federal court.
