This past year, in the face of threats and censorship against drag performers and the LGBTQ+ community, the show's production company, World of Wonder, created the first-ever Drag Defense Fund with a donation from MTV and "RuPaul's Drag Race." The 501C3 supports the ACLU's work to defend and ensure LGBTQ+ rights and has already raised over $1.5 million. The record-breaking competition series will introduce a new group of fabulous queens for a highly anticipated 16th season, which debuts 15 years after the very first episode premiered in 2009. The Emmy Award-winning after-show, RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked, also returns, airing each week after brand new episodes of Drag Race.

WOW is in charge of production for this series and others mentioned above. WOW's pioneering television portfolio includes other smash-hit franchises like Million Dollar Listing. Their film division, WOW Docs, produces groundbreaking documentaries, including Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures, Party Monster, and The Eyes of Tammy Faye. WOW also operates the YouTube channel WOWPresents, the music label World of Wonder Records, the WOW Podcast Network, and year-round international live events.

The 8th season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season included Alexis Michelle (season nine), Darienne Lake (season six), Heidi N Closet ( season 12), Jaymes Mansfield (season nine), Jessica Wild (season two), Jimbo ("Canada's Drag Race" season one, "UK vs. the World" season one), Kahanna Montrese (season 11), Kandy Muse (season 13), LaLa Ri (season 13), Monica Beverly Hillz (season five), Mrs. Kasha Davis (season seven), and Naysha Lopez (season eight).
