The first series premiered online on 27 November 2020 on DaddyTV for Men.com in four episodes, hosted by Anderson and More with singer Chase Icon as narrator.[1](https://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Slag_Wars%3A_The_Next_Destroyer) • [2](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13529750/fullcredits/) A second series aired on OUTflix and OUTtv from 17 September to 22 October 2024, with Rebecca More returning alongside gay porn star Matthew Camp and trans showgirl Fantasia Royale Gaga as co-hosts.[1](https://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Slag_Wars%3A_The_Next_Destroyer) • [3](https://outtvglobal.com/slag-wars/)\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Format | Queer performers live together in the \"Slag House\" and compete in porn-inspired challenges for points; a winner is crowned in the finale[4](https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/09/13/cock-destroyer-rebecca-more-slag-wars-sophie-anderson-interview/) |\n| Series 1 | 4 episodes, DaddyTV for Men.com, 27 November to 18 December 2020; hosts Sophie Anderson and Rebecca More, narrator Chase Icon[1](https://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Slag_Wars%3A_The_Next_Destroyer) |\n| Series 2 | 6 episodes plus a documentary, DaddyTV for OUTflix, 17 September to 22 October 2024; hosts Rebecca More, Matthew Camp, Fantasia Royale Gaga[1](https://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Slag_Wars%3A_The_Next_Destroyer) • [3](https://outtvglobal.com/slag-wars/) |\n| Series 2 cast | Braxton Cruz, Cocoa Kink, Damien Lenore, Freyja Phoria, JV Marx, Mama Mamba, Oscar (Hotboiyo), and Sabrina Jade[3](https://outtvglobal.com/slag-wars/) |\n| Directors and producer | Christopher (Topher) Cusumano and Artie Davis directed; Jeremie Romain produced[2](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13529750/fullcredits/) • [5](https://watch.plex.tv/pt-BR/show/slag-wars-the-next-destroyer) |\n| Reception | IMDb rating 7.7; episodes run about 43 minutes[6](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/slag-wars-the-next-destroyer) |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Plot\n\n#### Season 1 (2020)\n\nBritain, 2020. Rebecca More and Sophie Anderson, two middle-aged performers who accidentally became the Cock Destroyers when clips of their exuberant, filthy double act spread across the internet, have turned their meme into a talent search. In the first episode, \"Slag On Arrival,\" seven hopefuls, including Cameron Smith, Gustavo Ernesto Escobedo, Kevin Scott, Levi Jed Murphy, Nicky Monet, and Tyreece Nye, are thrown straight into the deep end. The judges are looking for the next international queer sex symbol, so the challenges are not talent-show filler but tests of confidence, sexuality, and performance under pressure.\n\nThe second episode, \"Safe Word Slag,\" is a fetish-themed photoshoot: the Slags compete to produce the best stills featuring bondage, spanking, or foot fetish work, coached by Sam Morris, Busty Cookie, and Emily Balfour. The episode fixes the show's tone, playful and explicit rather than coy, with the judges rooting the contestants on rather than cutting them down.\n\n\"Showbiz Slags,\" the third episode, turns to live performance. After a hot tub fight among the contestants, the Slags are asked to show off their \"huge talents\" in a special cabaret, with drag superstar Baga Chipz arriving as guest judge. Backstage friction under stage lights gives the season its most traditional reality-competition stretch, though the judges keep the mood celebratory.\n\n**The finale, \"Last Slag Standing,\" is the season's centerpiece: the Slags put on their hottest outfits and sexiest lewks to appear in the first ever Cock Destroyers music video, directed by Austin Nunes.** Before the shoot, guest judge Alexis Stone, the celebrated transformation artist, arrives to teach the Slags a lesson about beauty, pushing them to think about image and identity rather than just posing. The episode also gives each finalist an emotional and challenging final \"Passion Project,\" the moment the competition stops being a lark and becomes personal. Then More, Anderson, and Camp sit down together and decide who should be named The Next Cock Destroyer, ending the first season with a crown rather than a public vote.\n\n#### Season 2 (2024)\n\nFour years pass, and the world of the show changes off camera. Anderson and More end their partnership in May 2021, which delays the second season indefinitely. Then, in November 2023, Sophie Anderson dies, between the filming of the new season and its broadcast. When season 2 finally airs on OUTtv from September 17 to October 22, 2024, it does so without her: Fantasia Royale Gaga takes her seat among the judges, Chase Icon provides the voiceover, and Rebecca More now hunts alone for an iconic slag to claim the title of The Next Destroyer.\n\nThe season runs 7 episodes, six competition hours, and one documentary, totaling about 4 hours and 30 minutes of screen time. The challenges continue the first season's mix of glamour and absurdity — season 1 had already included pole dancing and filming ASMR videos — with the destroyers cheering the Slags on at every step. The season also pauses the competition for an intimate look at the history of Slag Wars and the Cock Destroyers themselves, telling the story of how two women's joke videos became a queer phenomenon and how the show came to exist at all. In the finale, aired October 22, 2024, Rebecca and the judges crown The Next Destroyer, and the season stands as a tribute to Anderson, the co-creator whose voice and laugh shaped everything the show does.\n\n### Characters\n\n- **Rebecca More** (herself), one half of the Cock Destroyers, the show's driving force. Sharp, warm, and utterly unshockable, she anchors both seasons and, in season 2, carries the search alone.\n- **Sophie Anderson** (herself), the other half of the duo and the show's wild heart in season 1. Her death in November 2023 hangs over season 2, which pays tribute to her.\n- **Matthew Camp** (himself), the American adult performer and third judge, who brings a steadier, more analytical presence between the two Cock Destroyers.\n- **Fantasia Royale Gaga** (herself), the season 2 judge who steps into Anderson's seat and keeps the judging panel's celebratory energy alive.\n- **The Slags**, the season 1 contestants: Cain, Cameron Smith, Gustavo Ernesto Escobedo, Kevin Scott, Levi Jed Murphy, Nicky Monet, and Tyreece Nye, competing for the crown.\n\n### Interpretations and controversies\n\nThe show's origins invite a double take: it first streamed on a self-titled website and on Men.com, a gay pornography site, before being picked up by the queer-focused streaming service OUTtv. That path from adult platform to mainstream queer streaming is part of the show's identity, and it frames itself as authentic and sex-positive, amplifying marginalized LGBTQ+ voices rather than softening itself for a general audience. The other controversy is structural rather than dramatic: the winner of season 1 is chosen by the judges rather than through audience voting, and the four-year gap between seasons, caused by the split between Anderson and More and by Anderson's death, means the second season is watched as much as a memorial as a competition.\n\n### Sequels, spin-offs, and adaptations\n\n[The Cock Destroyers](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-cock-destroyers) themselves are the franchise's origin story: More and Anderson became famous through viral videos before the show existed, and season 1's finale produced the first Cock Destroyers music video. Season 2 includes a documentary episode devoted to that history.\n\n## Origin\n\nThe show grew out of the Cock Destroyers, the double act of English pornographic performers Sophie Anderson and Rebecca More, who went viral in 2018 after a 69-second Twitter video in which they proclaimed themselves \"f**king Cock Destroyers\".[7](https://www.thepinknews.com/2020/11/24/cock-destroyers-slag-wars-reality-show-competition-lgbt-matthew-camp/) • [4](https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/09/13/cock-destroyer-rebecca-more-slag-wars-sophie-anderson-interview/) The video drew hundreds of thousands of views and launched a wave of memes, a Drag Race band, a one-off Netflix sex education show, and eventually Slag Wars, which Mel Magazine described as the first relatively SFW reality show starring sex workers.[8](https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/cock-destroyers-slag-wars-rebecca-more-sophie-anderson)\n\n## Format\n\nIn the competition, a cohort of queer performers from across the sex industry, including porn actors, burlesque dancers, and strippers, live together in the \"Slag House\", where More sets them a series of challenges. Contestants earn points, and in the finale one is crowned the next viral queer legend.[4](https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/09/13/cock-destroyer-rebecca-more-slag-wars-sophie-anderson-interview/) Challenges have included dancing, posing, and shooting viral videos.[8](https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/cock-destroyers-slag-wars-rebecca-more-sophie-anderson)\n\nThe first series brought together seven queer sex workers, models, performers, and content creators. The cast included Nicky Monet, a trans woman, drag queen, and burlesque artist from the United States; \"Mexican Shawty\" Gustavo; \"non-binary daydream\" Tyreece; \"club gremlin\" Cain; OnlyFans creators Levi and Cam; and Kevin, a newcomer to the adult industry.[7](https://www.thepinknews.com/2020/11/24/cock-destroyers-slag-wars-reality-show-competition-lgbt-matthew-camp/) • [9](https://www.thepinknews.com/2020/11/27/SLAG-WARS-CONTESTANTS-CAST-COCK-DESTROYERS/) Season 1 judges included Emily Balfour, Sam Morris, and Busty Cookie, and former contestant Nicky Monet also appears in the cast credits.[5](https://watch.plex.tv/pt-BR/show/slag-wars-the-next-destroyer)\n\nThe second series moved to OUTtv and OUTflix. Its cast of adult performers, sideshow and burlesque artists, and exotic dancers comprised Braxton Cruz, Cocoa Kink, Damien Lenore, Freyja Phoria, JV Marx, Mama Mamba, Oscar (Hotboiyo), and Sabrina Jade; they competed to show the creativity, sex appeal, and business savvy to keep the [Destroyer](https://www.edgepedia.org/destroyer) legacy alive.[3](https://outtvglobal.com/slag-wars/) Contestants ranged from an [East London](https://www.edgepedia.org/east-london) \"alien bimbo\" to a Los Angeles \"gooning\" specialist.[4](https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/09/13/cock-destroyer-rebecca-more-slag-wars-sophie-anderson-interview/)\n\n## Inclusion and representation\n\nCommentators highlighted the show's cast diversity. Dazed noted that where [RuPaul's Drag Race](https://www.edgepedia.org/rupauls-drag-race) took over a decade to announce its first transmasculine contestant and only recently began acknowledging non-binary queens, Slag Wars included trans and non-binary contestants in its first series and displayed each contestant's pronouns next to their names on screen.[10](https://www.dazeddigital.com/film-tv/article/51498/1/slag-wars-queer-reality-tv-sophie-anderson-rebecca-more-cock-destroyers) More described the show's mission as amplifying marginalized sex worker communities, including trans women and non-binary performers who built followings on OnlyFans.[8](https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/cock-destroyers-slag-wars-rebecca-more-sophie-anderson) Vulture's Tim Forster wrote that the series could mark a new subgenre of queer reality shows, with a depiction of queer agency and sexuality that he called extraordinarily fresh.[8](https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/cock-destroyers-slag-wars-rebecca-more-sophie-anderson) The Geekiary recommended the first season as inclusive, sex-positive, and an authentic look at queer life in the adult entertainment industry.[11](https://thegeekiary.com/slag-wars-the-next-destroyer-season-1-recommendation/90778)\n\n## The delayed second series\n\nThe second series was delayed after Anderson and More ended their partnership in May 2021. Shortly afterward, the production company made [Hot Haus](https://www.edgepedia.org/hot-haus) for an American audience, using Matthew Camp and series 1 Slag Wars contestant Nicky Monet as judges. Anderson reconciled with More in 2023 and was originally set to co-present series 2, but was replaced at the last minute by Fantasia Royale Gaga, winner of series 1 of Hot Haus. Anderson died in November 2023, aged 36, between filming and broadcast, and the second series paid tribute to her.[1](https://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Slag_Wars%3A_The_Next_Destroyer)\n\nIn a 2024 interview, shortly before the first anniversary of Anderson's death, More said she rebooted the show to focus on the joy Anderson brought, and framed the series as a defense of sex workers: performers run businesses, pay taxes, and are real people, even if the industry receives a bad reputation.[4](https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/09/13/cock-destroyer-rebecca-more-slag-wars-sophie-anderson-interview/)\n\n## Where to watch\n\nAs of 2025, the series streams on OUTtv, including via the Apple TV channel and Amazon Prime Video, on [YouTube TV](https://www.edgepedia.org/youtube-tv), and free with ads on [The Roku Channel](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-roku-channel).[6](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/slag-wars-the-next-destroyer) • [5](https://watch.plex.tv/pt-BR/show/slag-wars-the-next-destroyer)\n\n## References\n\n1.
