Call Me Mother’s Dallas Dixon Dishes On Season 2 & The Power Of Drag

Speaking with PRIDE the host teases working with drag icons and which queen he’d like to call mother.

Hosting Call Me Mother is a perfect gig for Dallas Dixon, who has returned for the sophomore season of the drag reality TV competition series. For one thing, he’s a lifelong fan of the art of drag, who fondly recalls escaping his small town to go visit drag shows in Toronto, where he found himself fascinated by the artistry on display. But it also takes a lot of charisma and energy to stand out among a group of drag queens, but fortunately Dallas has a seemingly endless supply of both.

For those initiated with the OutTV series, up-and-coming drag queens and kings compete for the title of “First Child of Drag”, but to do so they first have to earn their spot in one of the drag houses led by three icons of drag: Peppermint (House of Dulcet), Crystal (House of Glass), and Barbada de Barbades (House of Harmonie), who each mentor the queens they select to join their families.

Watch the First 15 Minutes of Call Me Mother Season 2

The first 15 min of Call Me Mother season two are here, and we couldn’t be more excited about this upcoming cycle!

Just like the first season, Call Me Mother will once again feature Crystal as the mother of the House of Glass, Barbada de Barbades as the mother of the House of Harmonie, and Peppermint as the mother of the House of Dulcet.

Crystal describes the House of Glass as “fashion, subversion, punky aesthetics. The perfect Venn diagram of hot, dangerous, and sweaty.” Barbades wants her drag children in the House of Harmonie “to become amazing superstars.” While Peppermint believes that the House of Dulcet is all about “art, activism, and compassion.”

The first step on Call Me Mother season two is the audition process, which consists of three phases: Look (where the mothers watch the contestants walk the showcase in their best drag fashion), Talent (where the contestants must perform a talent show number), and Tea (where the contestants plea their cases to the mothers and explain why they deserve a spot in the competition). During each of these phases, a few auditioners will be adopted into the three different houses on the show… but some drag artists won’t make it past this first round of the competition.

You can watch the exclusive first 15 minutes of Call Me Mother season two below.

Deadly Science - The 2022 MIPCOM Shopper’s Guide

Before MIPCOM kicks off in Cannes next Monday (October 17), Realscreen is presenting an all-week round-up of new non-fiction and unscripted titles that distributors will present at the French Riviera.

Deadly Science spotlights inventors, scientists and explorers throughout history who put their own lives on the line to advance human knowledge and achievement, and in some cases paid the ultimate price. Using archive, CGI, historical reenactments and expert interviews, the series profiles such “martyrs of the mind” as the 16th-century Spanish physician Michael Servetus, mountaineer George Mallory, physicist Marie Curie and ape researcher Dian Fossey.

Go Button Media and Autentic are production partners on the series, which is available in both German and English. Pre-sales have already been made to Curiosity, Superchannel and Spiegel Geschichte.

Dragula winner Landon Cider joins Call Me Mother season 2 as permanent judge

The drag king boards the OutTV competition’s panel alongside season 1 mentor Farra N Hyte, the mother of RuPaul’s Drag Race star Brooke Lynn Hytes.

Daddy is headed to Call Me Mother.

EW can exclusively reveal that The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula season 3 winner and world-renowned drag king Landon Cider will join the cast of the show as a permanent mentor for season 2.

Cider will advise the contestants — the full roster of which EW exclusively revealed earlier this month — alongside returning mentor Farra N Hyte, the leader of the House of Hytes and drag mother to RuPaul’s Drag Race season 11 runner-up and Canada’s Drag Race host Brooke Lynn Hytes.

Landon and Farra will oversee the drag kings, queens, and nonbinary artists as they navigate weekly challenges and performances among the houses of the show’s resident mothers: RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Crystal, RuPaul’s Drag Race season 9 star Miss Peppermint, and drag legend Barbada de Barbades.

“As a fan of Call Me Mother season 1, I’m incredibly honored to bring a kingly perspective to the judging panel this season, and to share this experience with the beautifully talented Farra N Hyte,” Landon said in a statement. “I can’t wait for you all to see these creative artists grow on and off the competitive stage.”
