Legendary checklist
There are nine episodes of Legendary and the premiere took place on Wednesday, May 27 on HBO Max. New episodes will drop every week.
The premise of the show is that eight voguing teams, or "houses as they are called," compete for a cash prize of €100,000 and "legendary" status. The show is structured in a round robin fashion with each episode featuring a different themed balloon for the performers and their leader (the "father" of the house).
Challenges integrate various aspects of dance, fashion and ballroom culture. Viewers will find that the cast shadow is a particularly important feature of the scene, and it makes television a lot of fun. Fans of shows like RuPaul's Drag Race and Pose, in particular, will be at home.
As a backdrop, HBO explains that vogue is: “a competitive style of modern dance showcasing haute couture and pose-based choreography struck by models”. It has widely emerged as a style of dance in the 1980s, as an evolution of the Harlem drag ball/ballroom scene of the 1960s.
The panel of judges is inspired by both the underground ballroom and mainstream culture, something that was not without controversy, and includes Megan Thee Stallion, Jameela Jamil, Law Roach and Leiomy Maldonado. Ballroom legend Dashaun Wesley is an MC, while MikeQ, one of the scene's most influential DJs, will be filming for the show.
Legendary will launch on the new HBO Max streaming service starting on its release date on Wednesday, May 27., when the first episode is released. New ones will follow every week thereafter. Now here's how to watch Legendary online and stream the new show from anywhere in the world today.

Travel abroad? Then trying to tune into HBO Max like you would from home is probably impossible, due to geo-blocking restrictions. We know this may not be a likely scenario for many, due to travel restrictions associated with coronaviruses, but the fact is that people are still required to travel, and some are sadly stranded abroad during this difficult time.
Fortunately, there is a solution in the form of VPN. This nifty piece of software changes your IP address so you can access all the content you would normally have at home, from anywhere in the world.
Although there are hundreds of VPNs to choose from, we still recommend ExpressVPN. As well as being fast, simple, and simple to install, it's also compatible with a multitude of devices: Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS, and Android, to name a few of the major ones.
