"Blanca Evangelista," played by Mj Rodriguez, is the former “Mother of the Year” and founder of the House of Evangelista, and faces new challenges as a hospice aide for the AIDS ward. Helping patients near the end of their lives forces Blanca to reevaluate her own life, striking a balance between motherhood, her career and a new love.

Grandfather to all the ball children and head of the MC Council, "Pray Tell," played by Billy Porter, grapples with a ball scene that has evolved beyond him. With his reduced involvement in the balls, the aspiring designer finds himself struggling with his sobriety, his past and his mortality.

Dominique Jackson portrays "Elektra Abundance Evangelista," Blanca’s shrewd former house mother and ballroom icon. Elektra has a rude awakening at Hellfire that forces her to embark on a brand-new enterprise that helps her achieve independence and her grandest dreams, for herself and the people she loves.

Indya Moore plays "Angel Evangelista," a Puerto Rican streetwalker. The trailblazing model may have left the piers behind but she still wrestles with inner demons and survivor’s guilt as she builds a life and legacy with her fiancée and manager, Papi.

"Lulu Ferocity," portrayed by Hailie Sahar, is the former mother of the House of Ferocity who finds solace and sisterhood with Angel in Candy’s absence. Despite her even-tempered demeanor, Lulu is burdened with grief that pushes her toward unhealthy habits and romantic relationships.

"Lil Papi Evangelista" is portrayed by Angel Bismark Curiel. Having left the drug trade behind, Blanca’s loyal son and Angel’s ride-or-die continues to hustle as a model manager for the Ford Agency. As his fiancée wrestles with her inner demons, a friend from the past throws a wrench in his happily ever after.

After touring with several pop stars, "Ricky Evangelista," portrayed by Dyllón Burnside, is finally grounded at home with Pray Tell. But playing the role of caretaker to an unstable partner leaves Ricky feeling unappreciated and pondering what his future should be.

A sharp observer with a sharper tongue, "Nurse Judy," portrayed by Sandra Bernhard, pulls no punches as she runs the AIDS Ward at Roosevelt Hospital and organizes with fellow AIDS activists in the streets.

Jason Rodriguez portrays "Lemar Khan." The former son of the House of Abundance and Wintour finally steps out of Elektra’s shadow as he starts his own house – the House of Khan – a talented, ruthless bunch that pulls zero punches.
