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.”

EW exclusively reveals the new cast set to compete for RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Miss Peppermint, Crystal, and legendary performer Barbada.

A new generation of legendary children is ready to shake what their mamas gave them on Call Me Mother season 2.

EW can exclusively reveal the 15-strong cast of Canadian drag queens, kings, and nonbinary performers set to appear on the second season of OutTV’s reality competition series, which also welcomes back returning house mothers Miss Peppermint (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Crystal (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK), and legendary performer Barbada de Barbades to oversee the contest.

The roster includes a queen who hilariously describes herself as the “fashion slut princess of Toronto,” while another participant works as a television weather reporter by day.
