“It’s her house now”: Here’s your first look at Drag Race Down Under season 4
The new era of Drag Race Down Under has finally arrived. Back in March, RuPaul shocked the fandom when she announced her departure from the Australian/New Zealand-based series. “It has been my great honour to bring Drag Race to Australasia,” Ru told Entertainment Weekly.
In addition to stepping down, the ‘Cover Girl’ singer revealed that her long-time friend and collaborator Visage would be taking over as the new leading lady of Drag Race Down Under. “I can’t wait to see the franchise continue to flourish under the leadership of the incredible Michelle Visage.” Shortly after the news was announced, Visage confirmed her new role on her Instagram account, where she received an outpouring of support from her followers and Drag Race alums. “Thank you, my dear @rupaulofficial , for entrusting me with one of your beloved shows.
The color, humor and outrageousness of Down Under drag holds a special place in my heart,” Visage wrote in her caption. “I’m ready to do everything in my power to encourage these beautiful queens to believe in themselves and let their inner light shine through.” Since that fateful day, fans have eagerly awaited for new information regarding the Visage-led season.
Fortunately, on October 3, WOW Presents Plus shared the first poster of Drag Race Down Under season four, which featured the Seduction songstress officially taking over the Australian/New Zealand house. “It’s her house now. #DragRaceDownUnder is back with a new host, the legendary [Michelle Visage]!” the caption read alongside a photo of Visage standing in front of a Barbie-inspired doll house.
