World of Wonder revealed Drag Race Spain, the Spanish version of the global franchise.
Produced by Atresmedia TV in collaboration with Buendía Estudios, the series will stream on WOW Presents Plus in the U.K., the U.S., and other international markets, with day-and-date airing on ATRESplayer PREMIUM in Spain. In the months to come, Drag Race Spain will reveal its host, judges, cast, and premiere date.
The RuPaul’s Drag Race franchise has reached 193 countries with network partners and the SVoD service WOW Presents Plus. The Spanish version joins existing international formats in Thailand, Chile, Canada, and Holland. RuPaul’s Drag Race UK was recently renewed for a second and third season. Passion Distribution will distribute the Spanish version of the series globally.
Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, co-Founders of World of Wonder, stated, “It is such an honor to welcome Spain to the Drag Race family, partner with Atres and bring the fierce fabulous glamor of Spanish queens to new audiences around the world on WOW Presents Plus. In these dark and challenging times we believe people need Drag Race’s joy, laughter, and heart now more than ever.”
Nick Tanner, director of Sales Co-Productions at Passion Distribution, remarked, “We are absolutely delighted to collaborate with ATRESplayer PREMIUM to bring the much-loved Drag Race format to the Spanish market. This new European adaptation is further proof (if one was ever needed) that this highly inclusive, incredibly successful and unique entertainment format is in high demand. We are very proud of the global success of the Drag Race franchise, and we can’t wait to bring the Spanish adaptation to broadcast partners. We hope to announce further adaptions around the globe very soon, on the heels of successful local versions in the UK, Canada, Holland, Thailand and Chile.”
