Hallå, hallå, hallå! World of Wonder has just announced the premiere date, host and judges for Drag Race Sweden/Sverige. Premiering this March, the highly-anticipated new series joins existing formats in the franchise across Thailand, Chile, Canada, the UK, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Australasia, France, the Philippines, Italy and the US original.
Following in the footsteps of hosts such as RuPaul, Fred Van Leer, Priscilla, Paolo Ballesteros and Brooke Lynn Hytes will be actor and drag queen Robert Fux.
Sitting alongside Fux on the panel will be Farao Groth, stand-up comedian and radio/television host, and Kayo, the host of Fångarna på fortet (Fort Boyard) and winner of the Melodifestivalen with her band Afro-Dite.
In a statement, Fux said: “Farao and I are actually old friends. He is hysterically funny and knows a lot about drag. “Kayo, who I had the pleasure of getting to know during the shoot, is incredibly glamorous and has an eye for genuine talent. “Together, we will scrutinise our drag queens and make sure that the right queen takes home the crown.” Kayo, a staple in Stockholm’s club scene, said of joining the series: “Nothing beats glitter, glamour and a tight corset!
