Danish production company Metronome has been commissioned to produce a new three-part factual entertainment series delving into the world of drag.

Created by Metronome for DR1, Fabulous Dads brings fathers and sons closer together as they immerse themselves into the drag scene, where the son is a performer. The fathers have no understanding of the drag world and the pair are thrown together for a week to learn more about one another, with the father discovering how his son takes on his drag persona. Under the guidance of top acts, the Fabulous Dad has a makeover himself and performs as a Drag Queen in front of friends and family.

Tina Christensen, Managing Director at Metronome says; “This is not just a story about fathers with sons who perform as Drag Queens but universal tale about how to embrace differences. This ambition of this heart-warming, fun and emotional format is to bring families closer together and we are thrilled DR1 will launch the show in the week that usually celebrates the Copenhagen Pride.”

Metronome in Denmark are producing a diverse range of unscripted hits including The Island, Masterchef, Taskmaster, The Block and Ex on the Beach. All of the series are longrunning hits in Denmark.

In July 2020 Endemol Shine Group was acquired by Banijay, creating the world’s largest international content producer and distributor spanning 22 territories with over 120 production companies and a multi-genre catalogue boasting over 88,000 hours of original standout programming.
