With 18 mainstay seasons, the release of the 11th All Stars installment and the franchise’s first feature film on the way, there’s never been a busier time in the RuPaul’s Drag Race universe.
RuPaul’s Drag Race wrapped its 18th season in April, where Myki Meeks was crowned America’s Next Drag Superstar. It didn’t take much longer (three weeks, to be exact) before Paramount+ premiered the first two episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars, where 18 queens from the show’s past returned for a second shot at the crown.
To add to the franchise’s plate, World of Wonder, the Emmy-winning production company behind all things Drag Race, and Bleecker Street are gearing up for the June 12 release of Stop! That! Train!, the first film to hail from the show’s universe. The movie is led by RuPaul (of course) along with a pool of Drag Race alums.
But to celebrate the mainstay series’ 18th season, as Emmy voting is about to kick off, The Hollywood Reporter attended an FYC event hosted Sunday on the set of the series. As buzz around Stop! That! Train! continues to grow, THR asked Michelle Visage and RuPaul’s makeup artist David Petruschin (aka Drag Race season two runner-up Raven) about one film that’s bound to be made eventually: the RuPaul Charles biopic.
