Legendary Format and Cast

In Legendary, the contestants compete in groups named Houses where members perform individually or in groups in pre-assigned categories in front of a panel of judges. In the first two seasons, each House is allowed to include five members, including a Leader called the Mother or Father of the House. The panel is composed by four permanent judges and a fifth guest judge that changes on each episode.

Most of the categories involve a qualifying round, in which the member or group representing each house first perform for the judges, who according to ballroom terminology show their approval by giving them a “ten”, or their disapproval by giving them a “chop”. To advance, a contestant must receive no chops from any judges.

In the second round, contestants face each other in knockout battles until only one of them remains, who is named the winner of the category. The winner of each battle is decided by a majority of the votes from the judges. As an exception, when a category involves all the members of a House, instead of a qualifying round and a battle round each house performs in front of the judges and receives critiques, and then a winner is determined by consensus from the judges.

After all categories are judged, the judges deliberate to decide which House had the best performance overall and name them the Superior House of the Week, and which two Houses had the worst performance. The Mother or Father of each House in the bottom names a member of the House to participate in a vogue redemption battle to be decided by the judges. The House of the winner of the redemption battle is allowed to remain in the competition, while the House of the loser of the battle is eliminated.

The judges for the new season has not been announced yet. In the previous two seasons, we got to see Jameela Jamil, Law Roach, Leiomy Maldonado, Megan Thee Stallion and Keke Palmer.
