OUTtv renews most-watched original Call Me Mother for second season

Competition reality series Call Me Mother

Canadian LGBTQ+ channel and streamer OUTtv has renewed Call Me Mother, its competition reality series in which renowned drag performers adopt and mentor the next generation of drag talent.

The show, hosted by Dallas Dixon, sees contestants battle it out over the course of eight weeks for the title of First Child of Drag and various prizes.

Drag mothers Miss Peppermint, Crystal and Barbada served as mentors in the first season, each one overseeing a different ‘house’ and deciding which performers stay in the competition.

Produced by Toronto-based Go Button Media and OUTtv in association with RedFlame TV, the format made its debut in October and has gone on to become OUTtv’s most watched original series.

It is executive produced by Natasha Ryan, Daniel Oron, Glenn Sims and Miss Peppermint. On behalf of OUTtv, executive producers are Brad Danks, Philip Webb, Anthony Jiwa and Lauren Whitelaw.

“Call Me Mother showcased diverse drag artistry that has had less mainstream representation until now – the response from audiences has been overwhelming,” said Philip Webb, chief operating officer at OUTtv.
