Panel of Judges Also Includes Law Roach, Leiomy Maldonado with Commentator Dashaun Wesley Featuring DJ MikeQ

LOS ANGELES - February 4, 2020 - HBO Max announced today that actress, activist and host Jameela Jamil will MC and judge Legendary, the 9-episode unscripted voguing competition series from Scout Productions. Additionally, the streamer comes ready to battle with a judge panel that will chant, chop and destroy each ball featuring Megan Thee Stallion, Law Roach, Leiomy Maldonado alongside a weekly rotating guest judge with commentary by Dashaun Wesley and DJ MikeQ at the turntable.

In this series highlighting modern day ball culture, divas battle on teams called "Houses" in fashion and dance challenges including vogueing for the chance to snatch the legendary trophy and win a cash prize. Voguing is a competitive style of modern dance featuring high fashion and choreography based on poses struck by models.

The teams compete in an arcing competition that documents a themed ball every episode from start to finish giving full access to the behind the scenes action.
