    Drag Race Season 9 has officially been greenlit by Logo. More queens, more dramz..

    And it’s no wonder – speaking to THEGAYUK a past sponsor (who didn’t want to be named) confirmed that being attached to the show in anyway is very lucrative for business.

    The insider told us,

    “The viewing figures might be smaller than your normal reality TV show, but boy is that audience engaged. We were only involved for a short while, but the pick up in business was phenomenal”.

    In a press release the show’s producers said that the “…season premiere saw a ratings spike of nearly 20% from last season’s kickoff among P18-49 (348,000 viewers) and now ranks as one of the most watched debuts in the show’s history.

    Start your engines… we can’t wait.
