VH1 has
renewed RuPaul's Drag Race for a 13th season.
The cable
network also ordered new seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars and RuPaul's
Drag Race: Untucked.
In announcing
the pickups, VH1 said that RuPaul's Drag Race season 12 was
the highest-rated season in the franchise's history. RuPaul's Drag Race earned
13 Emmy nominations this year.
“Drag queens
have been on the frontlines of many challenging times in our history,” RuPaul
said in a statement. “RuPaul's Drag Race 13, All Stars 6
and new seasons of Untucked will offer more opportunities for
our queens to rise to the occasion and spread the love.”
Season 12's
finale was recorded remotely as the top three queens competed from their homes
due to the coronavirus pandemic. Jaida Essense Hall edged out Crystal Methyd
and Gigi Goode to bring home the crown.
RuPaul's Drag
Race's latest spinoff, RuPaul's Drag
Race: Vegas Revue, premieres Friday, August 21 at 8PM ET/PT on VH1.
