Drag Race: World of Wonder to release extended 90 minute episodes for season 15
90-minute episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15 are officially headed to Paramount+. Earlier this year, the beloved competition series moved from VH1 to MTV with its highly anticipated 15th season.
While the new season made waves for having the largest cast in the franchise’s herstory, it also received backlash from fans for moving away from its 90-minute format to 60 minutes.
As a result of its shortened runtime – which was due to MTV’s LGBTQ+ reality show The Friends of WeHo – runway and judges’ deliberations were significantly shortened, and “a lot of fun chaotic” interactions between the queens in the werkroom were cut.
At the time, season 15 queen Salina Estitties tweeted that the cast “worked too hard and invested too much” for the edit to be slashed while Loosey LaDuca wrote: “These short runways are AC-TU-AL-LY killing me.
