OUTtv, the world’s leading LGBTQ+ television and streaming service, is bringing back its acclaimed competition series Sew Fierce, commissioning a third season of the OUTtv Original produced by Sonic Nursery Creative. The new season starts production in Fall 2025 and is set to launch on OUTtv later in 2025.
The eight-episode third season will see the return of season two’s co-hosts: design mentor Jaime Lujan, aka Lucinda Miu, and London based drag legend, Crystal. Benjamin Toner, the winner of Sew Fierce’s debut season, will also appear in the upcoming season as a judge. Showcasing the artistry that goes into the craft of drag, Sew Fierce brings together eight drag designers at the top of their game who will face weekly challenges to create stunning new looks, all vying for the grand prize and title.
The second season of the series launched internationally on the OUTtv platform in Spring 2024, with audiences around the world hooked. Building on the success of season one, the show achieved a 21% growth in SVOD viewership in its sophomore season, and continues to provide a one of a kind view into the creativity and design that define the art of drag.
As in previous seasons, the designers will create a look inspired by a specific theme every week, alongside completing a photoshoot to showcase their designs modelled by emerging drag artists. The judges assess each look based on their visual impact and garment construction, with one designer being eliminated at the end of each week.
Philip Webb, COO of OUTtv, said: “We saw a fantastic reaction from our audiences to the first and second season of the show, both anecdotally and through the 21% growth in viewership, and we are delighted to be working with Sonic Nursery Creative once again as we commission a third season. The series has resonated deeply with audiences, offering a unique look into the artistry, creativity, and craftsmanship that define the world of drag. With the incredible talent of our designers, the guidance of our co-hosts Jaime and Crystal, and the exciting return of Benjamin Toner, this season promises to raise the bar even higher. We look forward to building on the success of the first two seasons and can’t wait for audiences to experience what our latest group of designers have in store.”
Co-host Crystal said: “I’m thrilled to be rejoining the team for Sew Fierce Season 3. Making Season 2 was some of the most fun I’ve had on set, and I can’t wait to see what another host of brilliant designers have in store for us. The bar has been well and truly raised!”
Co-host Jaime Lujan, aka Lucinda Miu, added: “I’m beyond thrilled to be returning for a third season of Sew Fierce! Fans of drag know just how important a gag worthy look is and I’m so honoured to be part of a show that shines the spotlight squarely
