JUNE 24 – RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE: ALL STARS *Season 6 Premiere*
- Season 6 of RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE: ALL STARS premieres with two episodes Thursday, June 24. The all-new season sees 13 Queens from previous RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE seasons, the most ever for the series, return to vie for a spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame” and a cash prize of $100,000. Guest judges announced for this season include Angela Bassett, Tina Knowles-Lawson, Emma Roberts, Charli XCX, Aisha Tyler, Tanya Tucker, and more. RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE: ALL STARS follows a weekly release schedule with new episodes dropping Thursdays.
- Season 1 of the Spanish-language series VENENO drops Thursday, June 24, joining Crave’s LGBTQ2+ x Inside Out Collection, in celebration of Pride month. Based on the real-life story of ‘90s Trans icon La Veneno, the series follows Valeria (Lola Rodríguez), a young journalism student who meets and instantly bonds with her idol, Cristina “La Veneno” Ortiz Rodríguez (Jedet, Daniela Santiago, and Isabel Torres). The two women were born in very different times, but their stories become intertwined when Valeria writes a book about La Veneno. As she begins to write Cristina’s memoir, Valeria is plunged into a winding story full of victory and tragedy; friendship and heartbreak; loyalty and abuse; fame and freefall; but always defined by courage and self-love. VENENO weaves between Cristina’s past and present to paint a portrait of a complex woman who, in daring to break boundaries and refusing to dim her own light, paved the way for so many others to shine.
- Starring a powerhouse cast, including Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer, Stanley Tucci, Kristin Chenoweth, and Chris Rock, Robert Zemeckis’ THE WITCHES begins streaming on Friday, June 25. The story tells the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy who in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma in rural Alabama. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but diabolical witches, she wisely whisks him away to a seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe – undercover – to carry out her nefarious plans.
- The three-part documentary series EPSTEIN’S SHADOW: GHISLAINE MAXWELL begins streaming Friday, June 25. The series investigates British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell and her association with financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The powerful, connected, and mysterious Ghislaine Maxwell was once the heiress to the Maxwell fortune, but her life took a sordid downturn when she met Jeffrey Epstein. This docu-series reveals the complex story of power, money, and sex that leads to Ghislaine’s arrest, where she awaits trial on multiple sex trafficking charges in November 2021. Directed by Barbara Shearer, EPSTEIN’S SHADOW: GHISLAINE MAXWELL includes dozens of candid and powerful exclusive interviews, rare and previously unseen tapes of the Maxwell family including exclusive footage of Ghislaine and her father Robert, interview footage of Ghislaine in the aftermath of her father’s death, and previously unpublished photos.
- From directors Brent Hodge (I Am Chris Farley, Freaks and Geeks: The Documentary) and Chris Kelly (The Slowest Show, This Is That), THE HOLY GAME offers an exclusive look at an officially sanctioned Vatican soccer tournament for priests. Beyond the Vatican walls, there is a soccer championship like no other in which young priests in seminary from around the world gather to play in the Clericus Cup. The film explores religion, sport, and tradition, and examines why people around the world still sacrifice so much to become a priest. The documentary begins streaming on Monday, June 28.
- The feature-length HBO documentary THE LEGEND OF THE UNDERGROUND premieres Tuesday, June 29 at 9 p.m. ET. In 2013, Nigeria enacted the anti-LGBTQ law, the Same-Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Bill (SSMPA), and in the years since, it has been used to harass, imprison, extort, and commit violence against anyone seen as not conforming to Nigerian societal and cultural norms. Directed by Nneka Onuorah and Giselle Bailey, THE LEGEND OF THE UNDERGROUND explores the struggle against rampant discrimination in Nigeria today, as seen through the lens of several bold and charismatic, non-conformist youth who fight to live out loud.
