Shortly after Netflix announced the cancellation of both Marvel's IRON FIST and LUKE CAGE, we've gotten word that the streaming giant is preparing to welcome a different kind of superhero to their premiere platform with SUPER DRAGS. As the logline for the series states, "whether they’re facing a shady customer, or outright bigotry, these queens are ready to spread their glitter and twerk away the shade.” Oh snap, honey child!
The upcoming Brazilian animated series will feature some familiar voices for fans of RuPaul's Drag Race, as former contestants Trixie Mattel, Shangela, William and Ginger Minj have each come aboard the animated and adult-oriented series.
“We are thrilled that our first Brazilian animation will present our audiences with the daring, scandalous and fabulous world of Super Drags! Netflix is ??fortunate to invest in great animation talent from Brazil, bringing the vibrant trait of Combo and the acidic mood of our producers to the beautiful and the canvases from every corner," said Chris Sanagustin, Netflix’s Director of Original International Content.
If you ask me, SUPER DRAGS looks like a raunchy take on POWERPUFF GIRLS but with a KIM POSSIBLE-esque art style. I'm down for that, as I'm sure that many Netflix subscribers looking to partake in something different from the superhero genre will be as well. Bring out your fabulous! Call your shimmering and stylish queens to the front lines, and let's kick some self-righteous ass!
