Drag Race Philippines to host all-star series Slaysian Royale
World of Wonder has confirmed that Drag Race Philippines will host a new all-star spinoff series, Slaysian Royale, this year. The new series will see fan-favorite queens from previous seasons of Drag Race Philippines take on Asian queens from across the globe in a battle for the crown.
The series is the latest version of the show’s Vs the World format, which currently has Canadian and United Kingdom iterations. Drag Race Philippines has run for three seasons.
Drag Race Philippines premiered in 2022. The show most recently wrapped its third season, hosted by Paolo Ballesteros, or Mamwa Pao on the show. US Drag Race alum Jiggly Caliente is also a permanent judge on the show.
In October last year, Maxie was crowned winner of the third season of Drag Race Philippines.
Fan favourite Marina Summers competed on the first season of Drag Race Philippines and later joined UK vs the World season two.
Drag Race Thailand also recently returned for a third season after a six-year hiatus. Host Pangina Heals crowned Frankie Wonga as the winner in December 2024. Pangina also previously competed on UK vs. the World herself.
In the US, Asian queen Joella declared herself as “the Slaysian diva of LA” during the current RuPaul’s Drag Race season 17.
Taiwanese queen Nymphia Wind became Drag Race‘s first East Asian winner in the US at the end of season 16.
World of Wonder founders Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato said Slaysian Royale will be a unique spin on the format.
“This new version of Drag Race shines a spotlight on Asian drag as never before, celebrating its culture, its history, and creativity in a unique battle royale,” they said.
Drag Race Philippines: Slaysian Royale will premiere later this year, and will reveal the cast of queens at a later date.
