Stan Original ‘Drag Race Down Under vs The World’ will see global icon Michelle Visage returning to host the runway, joined by fan favourite Rhys Nicholson on the judging panel, ready to spill the tea and deliver the verdict alongside season four winner, Lazy Susan.

The new season comes hot off the heels of smash-hit global spin-offs like ‘UK vs The World’ and ‘Canada vs The World’. It will see fan favourites from four seasons of ‘Down Under’ going head to head with sickening queens from around the world – all vying for the crown.

“After four incredible seasons of ‘Drag Race Down Under’, we’re delighted to bring back our Aussie drag fan favourites and unleash them onto the world stage,” Nine Entertainment Executive Director (Entertainment Content Commissioning) Michael Healy says.

“With a formidable and familiar panel, and the reigning queen Lazy Susan joining the esteemed judges’ desk, ‘Drag Race Down Under vs The World’ will showcase the extraordinary talent we have in Australia and give local audiences a front-row seat to watch our queens shine globally.”

The series will deliver a fresh, global twist on the classic ‘Drag Race’ format, and a star-studded guest judge line-up.

“We couldn’t be more excited to expand the ‘Drag Race’ legacy,” World Of Wonder Co-Founders Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato say. “We are going totally Glocal as local legends face off against global icons. ‘Down Under vs The World’ promises a season packed with unfiltered moments, fashion, and lip syncs that will leave no lash unglued.”

‘Drag Race Down Under vs The World’ is coming soon on Stan.
