The Season 1 premiere of “King of Drag” lit up West Hollywood on June 22, 2025, with a dazzling celebration hosted by LGBTQ+ streaming network Revry at Beaches Tropicana2. The event marked the debut of the groundbreaking drag king competition series, which aired that evening at 9pm ET / 6pm PT on Revry.
The red carpet was a royal affair, featuring standout cast members like Alexander the Great, Tuna Melt, Dick Von Dyke, Pressure K, and many more. The premiere was not just a glam fest—it was a heartfelt reunion, especially for the eliminated kings who bonded in what they affectionately called the Tuna Can Van, a post-show support ride organized by Tuna Melt himself.
The show’s themes ran deep. Alexander the Great, for instance, brought environmental activism to the stage during the horror challenge, using recycled materials to embody the fear of ecocide—a bold and poignant statement in light of recent political developments.
