LateToCult 40,921 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 ITV Studios Australia secures local format rights for the globally successful competition show in 2020 RuPaul’s Drag Race has spawned two spin-off series, several sellout world tours and skyrocketed the careers of dozens of drag performers. Now the reality TV phenomenon is gearing up to Death Drop down under. ITV Studios Australia, the production company behind The Voice and I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! has secured local format rights for Drag Race, according to TV Tonight. The CEO, David Mott, told TV Line: “We are set to shantay on to Australian screens in 2020.” Drag Race is currently in its 11th US season, and has won nine Emmys. The show is a cross between Project Runway, Next Top Model and Australia’s Got Talent, and its contestants are expected to compete in drag challenges and design and make their own costumes. To avoid elimination, contestants are asked to “lip-sync for your life”. ... At present, all three shows in the RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise are hosted by RuPaul Andre Charles, although there are spin-offs in other regions not hosted by the titular star. A host for the Australian edition is yet to be confirmed. full story here: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/aug/26/rupauls-drag-race-australia-tv-phenomenon-coming-to-say-shantay-gday Michelle Visage getting dragged back into the airplane if RuPaul ends up being the host Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adaptation has been wanted here for years so you'll have to deal. k and? I'm not saying otherwise. I think it's great Drag Race is finally giving non-American drag some exposure. I just think this Drag Race overexposure is getting tired. It's Drag Race after Drag Race, and a lot of people feel this way. this is the state of grace, this is the worthwhile fight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKANK 14,288 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Imagine being so spoiled that you think “too much” drag queens on tv is an issue. Thank God for Drag Race, RuPaul, and for any culture accepting enough to make drag mainstream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akiki 3,900 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I thinks they should have done it sooner. Right now It feels a bit overexposed. I would love to have this show in Portugal but at the same time... Not sure If I can handle more drag in my life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 To the people complaining: You don’t have to watch it. No one’s forcing you to watch it. I also feel Drag Race is getting overexposed so I don’t think I’ll watch this one. Because I don’t feel like it. Because no one is making me watch it.
