On the WOWPresents YouTube channel, production company World of Wonder has shared a number of shows related to its most popular TV program, RuPaul’s Drag Race. Now, World of Wonder is readying two of its biggest digital exclusives yet: As first reported by Variety, it will share a pair of half-hour web series, each one starring a popular Drag Race queen.
The drag queens in question are Alyssa Edwards (real name Justin Johnson), who will host a series called Haus of Edwards, and Detox, who will be take the lead in Detox’s Life Rehab. The first show will follow its star as he runs his dance studio, while the second will feature lifehacks from one of the drag community’s sharpest queens. Both programs will consist of eight episodes.
World of Wonder is using its two long-form shows to kick off what figures to be a busy digital slate in 2017. “Our goal is to create engaging content with truly original voices across all platforms,” said World of Wonder co-founder Fenton Bailey. “Justin and Detox bring a unique combination of comedy and drama to everything they do.”
The WOWPresents YouTube channel currently has about 600,000 subscribers. Several Drag Race queens, including Edwards, have already appeared in videos released there.
Neither Haus of Edwards nor Detox’s Life Rehab have confirmed release dates, though both are expected to arrive in April, when the annual DragCon sweeps through Los Angeles.
