publikcitizen Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Season Four announcement No negativity allowed in this thread. The criticisms about the first season are old and redundant! The second season was a success and a fun season to watch! The Aussie and Kiwi queens deserve a platform like this to showcase their artistry and talent. So let’s celebrate and support the show so the queens can be successful. Edited March 11 by publikcitizen updating OP

Jamie321 Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 Very excited! I'm sure lessons have been learnt from S1 and we'll be entertained.
NumbSoul Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 S1 was a mess, but I'm perched and I hope this one is better

Yes I think producers have learned major lessons. But honestly, one of the biggest problem S1 had was that everything was done at the last minute. - For example, the show only happened because Rupaul had a few free weeks before filming DR UK so they ordered production on the show immediately which led to another problem. The pandemic restriction made it difficult to film in Australia so they switched to NZ as they were nearly COVID free and had lax covid production restriction as long as you quarantined for two weeks. - That is when they decided to cast NZ queens as the cast was only going to be Aussie queens. The casting process was an issue as they did open casting call instead of the usual videotape auditions. They did open casting call because it was quicker and that's how they casted Scarlet without doing an extensive background check. - Another issue was that due to the last minute filming location switch to NZ, there weren't many studios available to be used for filming and had to settle on a small studio that we saw on the first season. So I believe S2 will have addressed most of these issues, especially with the casting process.
ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted June 21, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted June 21, 2022 This is going to be a reverse Canada's Drag Race S2 experience. That season was airing the same time as UK3 and those queens felt overshadowed by that series. I imagine with CDR S3 airing the same time as this, the Canadian girls will get the focus and these queens will be overshadowed unfortunately. I'll still be watching, but it's just sad that WOW can't figure out scheduling

I thought the casting people reached out to queens, there was no open casting. --- They better get it right this time or it is a WRAP for the franchise, I fear

I honestly don't care about CDR S3, and I am very curious to see DUDR S2.

I thought open casting was where they reach out to queens and invite them.

I thought open casting was where they reach out to queens and invite them. Apparently the tea was that the casting directors reached out to all the main gay clubs across Australia (not sure about NZ), who then offered/put forward they’re biggest names. For some reason I’m New Zealand they only selected three queens from the same venue/school which is why they all knew each other. Also can confirm S2 was casted via standard video audition tapes so we should have a bit more of a diverse and exciting cast this time around. Edited June 22, 2022 by CroNich
