World Of Wonder, the production company behind RuPaul’s Drag Race, Bravo‘s Million Dollar Listing, and HBO‘s Mapplethorpe, has announced today a new subscription video service dubbed WOW Presents Plus.
The platform will offer LGBT and drag-centric programming, with new original series starring Drag Race breakouts Valentina, Bob The Drag Queen (who will headline a travel series titled Bobbin’ Around, pictured above), and Detox. Beyond its noted drag queen contingency, WOW Presents Plus will also offer new shows from the genderfluid musician AB Soto (whose dance tutorial series is titled Move Your Body), fashion designer Marco Marco, and the team behind noted beauty brand Sugarpill Cosmetics.
In addition to a slew of new originals, WOW Presents Plus will also offer viewers curated programming from World Of Wonder’s vast library of movies, TV series, and live events — including the 2011 Chaz Bono-starring docuseries Becoming Chaz.
Check out a trailer for the service below:
The ad-free platform is available today at wow-presents.com, as well as via apps on iOS, Apple TV, Roku, and Android. WOW Presents Plus is priced at $3.99 per month or $39.99 per year. A 30-day free trial is available at signup, and you can browse the full rundown of content being offered right here.
“For more than 20 years, World Of Wonder has created programming and experiences that give a voice to the outsiders and the marginalized,” said co-founders Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey in a statement. “As the marginal moves into the mainstream, the time has come for us to curate a platform for our audience with content fans will devour, featuring stars that deserve to be on television round-the-clock.”
World Of Wonder has been an early and successful digital adopter. Earlier this year, the company premiered a pair of half-hour web series starring popular Drag Race queens on its WOW Presents YouTube channel — which counts roughly 840,000 subscribers and clocks four million weekly views. It’s not the first time that a streamer has looked to furnish content that targets the growing LGBT market, however: a competing service dubbed REVRY — priced at $4.99 per month and $54.99 per year — launched in August 2016.
