Renewed: RuPaul’s Drag Race

US reality series RuPaul’s Drag Race has been renewed for an eighth season.

The news comes weeks after the show’s seventh season premiere in the US on cable network, Logo.

“After a record-breaking year of ratings and viewership, it’s only fitting we would continue to rise with our first lady, RuPaul,” said Chris McCarthy, General Manager of MTV2 and Logo TV.

The announcement was made as UK dramas Cucumber and Banana also premiered in the US.

“From the cultural phenomenon of Drag Race, our partnership with the visionary Russell T. Davies and the creation of a new documentary division, we are making Logo TV the home of today’s most innovative storytellers.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race is currently airing in Australia on LifeStyle YOU.
