World of Wonder, the production company behind RuPaul's Drag Race, posted three casting calls on social media on 8 August 2022. [5] The casting calls were for new potential Drag Race adaptations in Brazil, Germany, and Mexico. [6] [7] The deadline for the potential competitors was set for 26 August, with the deadline for audition video submission set for 9 September 2022. [8] In December, it was confirmed that the new editions of the Drag Race franchise will premiere "on MTV/Paramount+ in their respective territories." [9]

Grag Queen was confirmed as a host and head judge in July 2023. [10] The other two judges, Bruna Braga and Dudu Bertholini, were confirmed on July 19, as well as the premiere date, which was set for August 30. [11] The cast was revealed on August 2. [12]
