NEW YORK, N.Y. – Hot off the heels of two Emmy nominations and one of the most watched seasons in the show’s history, Logo today announced the season nine renewal of its hit reality series, “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Additionally, the network has greenlit docuseries “Fire Island” to premiere in 2017. Both series join the recently announced new reality dating competition series, “Finding Prince Charming,” hosted by Lance Bass which will debut on the network this fall.
After scoring the franchise’s third Emmy nomination and an unforgettable season that saw year-over-year ratings growth, digital records shattered with the most watched premiere in series history, and highest digital downloads in network history, Mama Ru will return for a ninth season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”*
In its eighth season, the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” phenomenon reached new heights. The show’s ability to connect with an ever growing popular audience while at the same time receiving rave reviews from major media outlets is a testament to Drag Race’s ability to push boundaries creatively and intellectually.
RuPaul will be back to turn up the heat this summer with “RuPaul’s All Stars Drag Race” season 2 premiering Thursday, Aug. 25 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on Logo with a queen-sized 90-minute episode.
“RuPaul’s Drag Race” is produced by World of Wonder Productions with Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, Steven Corfe, Mandy Salangsang and RuPaul Charles serving as Executive Producers. Pamela Post and Tim Palazzola serve as Executive Producers for Logo.
