Let RuPaul’s ever-expanding global queendom rejoice as Franchise OG RuPaul’s Drag Race has gotten the go-ahead for a 16th season on MTV, while Drag Race All Stars will stream a 9th season on Paramount+. RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked! which airs on MTV, will also be back. On Monday the network revealed that the new episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race will return to MTV soon, while All Stars 9 will again stream on Paramount+, with fan-favorite queens re-joining the series for a shot at a spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame. The announcement comes on the heels of Drag Race franchise’s nine Emmy nominations, including another nod for RuPaul as host and for the overall series in the Outstanding Reality Competition category. If RuPaul wins in the host bracket for an eighth consecutive time at the January 2024 ceremony, he will extend his record as the most-decorated Black artist in TV Academy history. Drag Race continues its unprecedented global success, adding new international spinoffs in Brazil and Mexico this year. Other countries with their own versions of the show include Australia, Canada, Chile, France, Holland, Italy, Spain, and Thailand, among others.
