The party continues for Drag Race France, Drag Race Philippines and Drag Race Thailand as the company behind the successful Drag Race format, World of Wonder, announced this week at MIPCOM that these popular international editions will each return with a third series.

The upcoming series of Drag Race Philippines and Drag Race Thailand will be available to stream on WOW Presents Plus globally and Drag Race France will be available on WOW Presents Plus in all territories outside of France.

Off the back of a phenomenally successful series two, which saw 11.2 million viewers tune in compared to 7 million for series 1 and average audience figures per episode of 810,000 in France alone on France 2 and France.tv, Drag Race France will be inviting a new set of queens to compete for the chance to snatch the crown in 2024.

Drag Race Philippines has also taken the fandom by storm and, with Captivating Katkat recently taking the second series crown in all her glory – series 1 and 2 box sets are available to stream on HBO GO and WOW Presents Plus worldwide now – plans have already been confirmed for the next series, with the announcement that a third run of episodes has been commissioned. Stay tuned as the fiercest, most fabulous Filipino drag artists return to the stage to compete for the title of Drag Race Superstar of the Philippines.
