HBO’s new-ish reality TV competition series “Legendary” was released one year ago. The show focused on the ballroom culture in the LGBT community and their vogueing (and more!) competitions in which 10 houses would compete against one another for a $100,000 cash prize. And now, one year later, HBO has released the second season of the series on its streaming service HBO Max. So what’s new in this season?

Well, the show’s four main judges—Megan Thee Stallion, Jameela Jamil, Leiomy Maldonado, and Law Roach—are all returning, but there are many exciting new guest judges including Tiffany Haddish, Taraji P. Henson, Amiyah Scott, Nicco Annan, Normani, Adam Lambert and Demi Lovato.

The houses in this season’s competition are all brand new, with houses of Balenciaga, Chanel, Garcon, Icon, Luxe, Milan, Mugler, Oricci, Prodigy, and Tisci bringing it to the runway. In fact, you may even recognize some of the competitors like Jacen Prodigy, makeup artist for clients like Lupita Nyong’o and Nene Leakes, and Prince Miyake-Mugler, who competed on “America’s Best Dance Crew.”

So check out the season two teaser below and just try not to get tempted to try out vogueing for yourself. (Hint: you won’t be able to help yourself.)
