Coronavirus can’t keep a drag queen down: The full “RuPaul’s Drag Race” TV franchise is currently in production in Los Angeles, Variety has confirmed exclusively. The Emmy-winning flagship series wrapped its 13th season last week, and production is already underway on one of the franchise’s spin-off titles.
The “Drag Race” franchise usually shoots in the summer and fall for premiere dates in the first half of the following year, but the Covid-19 pandemic has raised obvious questions about how any production involving regular interpersonal interaction could operate safely.
