A second season, titled Trixie Motel: Drag Me Home, premiered on June 1, 2024 on Max.[3]
Background
Mattel based the aesthetics of the motel on her drag character, her web series UNHhhh with Katya Zamolodchikova, and her beauty brand Trixie Cosmetics, among other inspirations. The location was originally named Ruby Montana's Coral Sands Inn; Mattel had originally planned to transform it into an Airbnb rental but changed her mind after viewing the property. According to Mattel she spent around $1.9 million to purchase the space and $500,000 to renovate it, enlisting designer Dani Dazey to collaborate on the project.[4]
