Dee Pression's Drag Race: HoP Edition (Season 3)

## Season 3

The third season of **Dee Pression's Drag Race: HoP Edition** was first announced for production on June 18, 2021. This season was an all-discord spinoff of the successful fandom show: **Dee Pression's Drag Race**, taking place during summer and fall of 2021. Casting took place via discord. The cast was revealed on July 26th, 2021 - with the first episode airing on August 7th, 2021. 14 drag artists competed on the season for the title of Virtual Drag Superstar, a special flair in the discord server, and a spot in the Dee Pression Hall of Fame. The theme for the promo image and cast photos was neon.

Much like **Season 2**, DPDR HoP's third season also suffered from episodes not airing on the subreddit - as only episodes one and two were fully written.

## **About the Show**

Dee Pression is BACK! The fantasy season that started it all is making its way back home to r/DeePressionsDragRace! With Jan and Rita Bane by her side, Dee is fully equipped with a full panel of judges to make up fictional critiques - and that's only the beginning of HoP member appearances!

Dee Pression's Drag Race: HoP Edition is a fantasy show and all-discord spinoff of **Dee Pression's Drag Race**. Creating the r/DeePressionsDragRace subreddit, the show has led itself into becoming a satellite sub for all Home of Phobia's fantasy seasons.

In the style of the RuPaul's Drag Race format, **DPDR: HoP** is a fantasy show based in storyline driven writing where each contestant's strengths and weaknesses determine how they will do each episode.
