MTV has renewed RuPaul's Drag Race for its 19th season. Paramount+ has additionally greenlit new seasons of the All Stars spinoff.
The renewals come after the main series completed its 18th season, where Myki Meeks was crowned America's Next Drag Superstar. Season 18 delivered double-digit growth over the previous season and set a new franchise premiere viewership record. RuPaul's Drag Race also received 11 Emmy nominations this awards season, with RuPaul earning his 11th consecutive nomination for outstanding reality or reality competition program host.
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars completed its season 11 on Paramount+ in July, with Crystal Methyd winning. The renewal announcement included additional orders for Untucked, the companion series.
World of Wonder Productions, which produces the franchise, said in a statement: "Nearly twenty years later, what began as a dream has become an extraordinary global movement. We owe endless thanks to our partners at MTV and Paramount+, along with every queen, judge, crew member, and fan who has built RuPaul's Drag Race. Drag brings people together in powerful ways — and we are honored to keep celebrating new voices and sharing iconic moments with the world."
RuPaul's Drag Race has won the best reality competition program Emmy five times. The show held the category before The Traitors began its dominance in 2024.
