Diversity, dancing, and some serious lewks come together in HBO Max's hit ballroom competition, Legendary. Pulling from the underground ballroom community, different voguing teams (called "Houses") compete in a variety of dance and fashion challenges to win an ultimate prize. With the next installment about to take center stage, here's everything you need to know about HBO Max's Legendary Season 2 release date, trailer, cast, and guest judges.
The show is a celebration of drag ball culture, an LGBTQ+ subculture in which attendees dance, vogue, walk, and pose for prizes and recognition. Drag balls are rooted in black and Latinx trans and queer communities, which is why Legendary is such an important — not to mention exciting — show to support in 2021.
Not only are the performances (and judges) absolutely incredible, but the fact that Legendary *actually* celebrates diversity is pretty major. Transgender women and gay men of color are some of the main stars of the show, and you can expect even more celebrations of diversity with the premiere of Season 2.
So, grab your best wig, do some light stretching, and practice your posing to get ready for the next ~legendary~ installment of your favorite ballroom competition series.
The heat is about to get turned up. Season 2 of Legendary starts streaming on HBO Max on May 6, which means you can expect plenty of fierce looks and house rivals very soon.
On April 16, HBO Max dropped the Season 2 trailer and it. is. everything. Ten new houses will compete for the $100,000 grand prize, and from the look of the contestants, it's going to be epic. Instead of taking over the NYC scene, Season 2 is leaving the East Coast to dazzle in Los Angeles.
Expect plenty of familiar faces in Season 2, since the four core judges will be returning to set. Ballroom icon Leiomy Maldonado, hip-hop superstar Megan Thee Stallion, stylist Law Roach, and The Good Place's Jameela Jamil are all coming back for Season 2, and Dashaun Wesley will also be returning as the emcee. As for the houses, all 10 have already been chosen, so you can start picking your favorites on Instagram rn.
Each episode of Season 2 will welcome a special guest judge to crown the Superior House. This season, fans will see Demi Lovato, Adam Lambert, Normani, Tiffany Haddish, Taraji P. Henson, Amiyah Scott, and Nicco Annan.
Get ready to pose at home as your favorites compete for the ultimate title.
