HBO Renews Emmy®-Winning Unscripted Series WE’RE HERE For A Fourth Season.

HBO has renewed the Emmy®, Peabody and GLAAD award-winning unscripted series WE’RE HERE for a fourth season. Created by Johnnie Ingram and Stephen Warren, the series concluded its six-episode third season on December 30, 2022 and will begin production on its fourth season later this month. The first three seasons are available to stream now on Max.

“With the ongoing aggression towards the LGBTQ+ community, and the increased hostility directed at drag performers, it’s more important than ever for another season of We’re Here." says Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President, Late Night & Specials Programming."Time and time again, the series has shown that love is stronger than hate, and we want to continue to uplift the community by showcasing these rich and important stories. We owe a huge thank you to Bob, Shangela and Eureka for sharing their personal stories and for their incredible contribution over the last three seasons. We’re also excited to welcome our three new queens to the We’re Here family and dive into our new season.”

Our journey has inspired hope and sparked important conversations while empowering unique voices and opening new doors. As we move forward with our exciting individual projects, we welcome Sasha Velour, Priyanka and Jaida Essence Hall, and wish them the best on continuing this work during an increasingly difficult time for the LGBTQ+ community."

WE’RE HERE was recently awarded Television Academy Honors and won the GLAAD and Peabody awards for its critically acclaimed third season. Season three was praised by Variety as a show “we need right now” that “shows us the power of visibility” [and] “saves lives.” The Los Angeles Times hailed it as “uniquely affirming and vital” and Wired called it “an essential reminder that queer people are fighting for justice and visibility across the US.” Decider lauded it for managing “to find the light even in the darkest of circumstances” and the “most relevant reality show on television.”

Season four of WE’RE HERE will follow three new renowned drag queens, Sasha Velour, Priyanka and Jaida Essence Hall, as they continue the goal of the series to spread love and connection through the art of drag across small-town America. This season will focus on two U.S. towns over the course of six episodes, taking an in-depth and more immersive look at the local political systems and participants, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and opposition, and their effect on the LGBTQ+ community.
