Our Slaysian divas are about to sashay to the Drag Race Phillippines main stage! Get ready for a new Drag Race international series to join the global franchise.
World of Wonder has announced a new series, Drag Race Phillippines: Slaysian Royale, a spinoff of Drag Race Phillippines which they say is a “twist on the Vs. The World format popularized by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs. The World and Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs. The World.” It is the latest series in the ever-growing RuPaul’s Drag Race universe.
Per the logline, Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale “will see fan-favorite queens from previous seasons of Drag Race Philippines take on Asian queens from across the global franchise in a battle for the crown.” It is set to premiere worldwide later this year on WOW Presents Plus.
