Whether it was Pangina Heals and Marina Summers taking the globe by storm on separate seasons of UK vs. The World, Nymphia Wind taking the RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 16 crown, or most recently, Joella becoming a viral sensation on Drag Race Season 17 one thing is certain-Asian excellence has a place front and center in the RuPaul’s Drag Race universe. Now, a brand new series is entering the Drag Race roster and it’s a celebration of that very Asian excellence: Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale is coming in 2025!
Putting a brand new twist on the Vs. The World format (RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs The World and Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs the World) Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale will pit beloved queens from all of three seasons of Drag Race Philippines against other Asian queens from across the global franchise in a battle for the crown. As the series’ mothership, Drag Race Philippines “has been praised for its unique twists on fan-favorite challenges and tropes, all while celebrating the distinctive Filipino drag culture and community. Most recently, reigning season three winner Maxie won the title of the Philippines’ Drag Superstar, joining the Winner’s Circle alongside previously crowned queens Precious Paula Nicole and Captivating Katkat“.
Co-Founders of World of Wonder, Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, said: “This new version of Drag Race shines a spotlight on Asian drag as never before, celebrating its culture, its history and creativity in a unique battle royale.”
