If you\u2019ve ever wondered what would happen if a reality competition show collided with high-camp queer fantasy, OUTtv has the answer \u2014 Slayers: Wheel of Fate.<\/p>\n

Hosted and executive produced by the one and only HBIC herself, Tiffany “New York” Pollard, the series is already going viral on social media ahead of its October 8 premiere, and for good reason. Slayers promises to be an even more outrageous successor to The Traitors, but with more dragons, more glitter, and more queerness.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the wonderfully wild lore behind Slayers and how the game actually works.<\/p>\n

The Premise\"Slayers:<\/p>\n

Not every competition show gets a whole backstory to kick things off, but Slayers does \u2014 and it goes hard. The idea behind it is that Pollard recently got involved in a world where billionaires place high-stakes bets on dragon fights in underground casinos, and now she’s launched a crusade to free these poor dragons.<\/p>\n

Along with her friends at queer dating app Taimi, she led protests and blew this secret world out into the open to try to help the captive dragons. But the leader of the dragon ring, a “nasty, crusty, SOUR FACE BITCH named Queen Karen,” isn’t so willing to give up her power, or her top (queer) dragon, Sydney.<\/p>\n

It seems she’s also got a bit of a gambling problem herself, as Queen Karen decided to make Pollard a bet \u2014 if she can find a Slayer to survive Queen Karen’s game, she’ll not only free Sydney, but win Castle Chaos for herself. And Taimi is helping Pollard out by offering a prize of up to $25,000 to the Slayer who steps up and saves the day.<\/p>\n

The game involves Slayers moving into a single shared room in Castle Chaos, a wicked fortress that includes a poison swap, a cursed garden, and “secrets around every corner.” While there, the competitors have to engage in various physical and mental challenges to defend Pollard, stay alive, and work towards defeating Queen Karen.<\/p>\n

Queen Karen is described as Pollard’s sworn enemy who will do absolutely anything to stay in power, including interfering with the Slayers on their quest at every turn. She’s also added a cruel twist to the game \u2014 every week, Sydney will be forced to feast upon one losing Slayer.<\/p>\n

Of course, no epic fantasy is complete without its heroes. Enter the Slayers \u2014 ten fierce queer competitors stepping into Castle Chaos as both warriors and players. Each brings their own unique charisma, strategy, and survival skills to the game so we can watch the interpersonal drama unfold while waiting to see which singular Slayer can outlast Queen Karen\u2019s tricks, survive Sydney\u2019s appetite, and save the dragons (and the cash).<\/p>\n
