World of Wonder today ru-vealed the cast for the 16th series of the Emmy® award-winning global phenomenon, RuPaul’s Drag Race.
The Ru-licious series returns to WOW Presents Plus weekly from Saturday, January 6th at 2.30AM GMT with 90-minute episodes. The new series ushers in 14 dazzling new queens to compete for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar’‘ and a cash prize of $200,000 for the winner served by Cash App. This series marks the 15th Anniversary of the Drag Race franchise, which first premiered on February 2nd, 2009 on Logo.
The premiere will be split into two parts and showcase the iconic talent show as the Maxi Challenge, which are separately themed as MTV’s Spring Break and the “Queen Choice Awards.” Both episodes will feature a gag worthy twist following the talent show performances, where the queens will be tasked to “Rate-A-Queen” – ranking each other’s performances to determine the tops and bottoms of that week.
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked, the aftershow, will premiere immediately following on WOW Presents Plus. Untucked gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the backstage drama as the queens anxiously await their fate in the competition.
Today (Wednesday, December 6th at 5pm GMT), fans will be able to “Meet the Queens” more in-depth on the WOW PRESENTS PLUS YouTube channel, with individual interviews from each new queen… Sashay over to their YouTube channel right HERE.
RuPaul’s Drag Race S16 will premiere exclusively on WOW Presents Plus in the UK from Saturday 6th January 2024, followed by brand new episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked. Subscribe to WOW Presents Plus via https://uk.wowpresentsplus.com/
