Production

World of Wonder, the production company behind RuPaul's Drag Race, posted three casting calls on social media on 8 August 2022.[1][2] The casting calls were for new potential Drag Race adaptations in Brazil, Germany, and Mexico.[3][4] The deadline for the potential competitors was set for 26 August, with the deadline for audition video submission set for 9 September 2022.[5] Many Drag Race fans called for Valentina or Lolita Banana to host the show.[6][7]

In December, it was confirmed that the new editions of the Drag Race franchise will premiere "on MTV/Paramount+ in their respective territories."[8][9] The series marks the second adaptation from the American show to be in Spanish, after Drag Race España (excluding The Switch Drag Race, which followed a different format).[10]

On 7 May 2023, a teaser was revealed at the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards, announcing that the series is set to premiere in 2023.[11] Rolling Stone announced that Valentina and Lolita Banana will host the first season. [12]
