An update to the MTV Canada hit 1 GIRL 5 GAYS, which ran from 2009 to 2014, each half-hour episode of 1 QUEEN 5 QUEERS is focused on a single topic, moderated by Hytes. Building on the compelling, honest, and unfiltered discussions from Season 1, topics covered in Season 2 include: dating, drag, kinks and fetishes, aging, lifestyle, stereotypes, accomplishments, mental health, and self-care. The new season also includes a special episode with a cast of drag performers, and new segments featuring returning Season 1 cast members Cookiee Von C, Dwight, and Ivory. Some of the panelists joining Hytes on Season 2 of 1 QUEEN 5 QUEERS include: model and influencer Joey Pittari (he/him); Jay Baldwin (They/Them), an activist with cerebral palsy; Gwen Adora (she/her) a plus size sex worker; activist, broadcaster and filmmaker Sarain Fox (she/her); and Farra N Hyte (she/her), host of CALL ME MOTHER and Brooke Lynn Hytes’s drag mother. In addition, Absolut Vodka has come on board as a brand partner for Season 2. Taking inspiration from the Absolut Vodka mantra of “Born to Mix,” each episode of 1 QUEEN 5 QUEERS includes a custom “Born to Mix” segment with product integration into the set.
