FormatBiz | Drag Race Italia season 3 lands on Paramount +

Paramount+ announced today that Drag Race Italia will arrive on the streaming service in Italy and subsequently be available in the United States and Latin America later this year. The news follows the recent announcement of three new editions in Brazil, Germany and Mexico and a Global Drag Race All Stars, which will be available on Paramount+ this year in their respective countries.

"Drag Race has become a global phenomenon and we were honored to be featured from the beginning with the incredibly talented team at RuPaul and World of Wonder," said Chris McCarthy, President/CEO, SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios & Paramount Media Networks. "In expanding Paramount+'s global footprint, it was important to recapture Drag Race in key international markets while also building a series of interconnected competitions. Global Drag Race All Stars is like a global Super Bowl for Drag!"
"With the third season of Drag Race Italia, we are excited to expand our partnership with Paramount+ and Wow Presents Plus, and to continue our mission in spreading the joy of drag around the world," said Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, CEO of World of Wonder.

RuPaul's Drag Race, the most popular reality show in history with 27 Emmy® Awards, is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and Emmy Award-winning media company World of Wonder. The new season of the Italian version will be produced by Ballandi.
