Borislshere 52,615 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Rupaul’s empire is expanding. On Tuesday, the Emmy-winning TV host and drag queen announced that his flagship franchise, RuPaul’s Drag Race, has inspired a spinoff series with all celebrity guest competitors, titled RuPaul’s Celebrity Drag Race. The show will launch in 2020. “Doing drag does not change who you are, it reveals who you are,” Ru said in a press release. “I can’t wait for the world to see what happens when our celebrity contestants get all up in drags!” Each episode of the show will revolve around three celebrity guests who undergo a drag transformation, aided by Drag Race alumni like: Alyssa Edwards, Asia O’Hara, Bob the Drag Queen, Kim Chi, Monét X Change, Monique Heart, Nina West, Trinity the Tuck, Trixie Mattel and Vanessa Vanjie Mateo. The celebrities will compete for the holy title of America’s Next Celebrity Drag Superstar as well as prize money, which will be donated to the charity of their choice. RuPaul’s Drag Race has featured a slew of famous celebrity guest judges ever since it launched in 2009. Past celebrity guests have included Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, and Marc Jacobs. There have also been special cameos from a number of celebrated figures, including a surprising appearance from Nancy Pelosi in 2018, who used her time on the show to encourage people to vote. RuPaul’s Celebrity Drag Race is the latest spinoff from the popular drag series. There is also an All Stars edition of the show, which sees past queens reunite and compete against each other, and the short-lived Drag U, which saw queens give drag makeovers to women. There are also one-off holiday specials and two drag conventions in New York and Los Angeles that further extend the Runiverse. The core series has been a cultural phenomenon, moving from original network Logo to VH1 in 2017 and hitting a new ratings high the following year. The show has won 13 Emmys, including best reality competition series and best host (for RuPaul) this past September.

blackpink 13,812 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I don’t get it, so it’s using past season queens to makeover 3 “celebrities” an episode? And the worst past season queen of the episode goes home each week? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drag Race Germany, or as the correct title "Queen of Drags" has been confirmed as well, don't think it's licensed under RuPauls Drag Race tho But that's probably not going to have a big of an impact since it's going to be in german (Heidi Klum will be the main host) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drag U was an absolute mess and this is basically the same thing but replace the middle aged moms with celebrities. Drag U was messy BUT the queens were always so charming. If they don't edit this to become a suburban-diluted mess, and let the charm of the queens take it away, then we might be fine. I think that's why I like DRUK so much... so far. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
