“RuPaul’s Drag Race” producers and World of Wonder co-founders Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato just snatched their fifth Emmy award for outstanding reality competition program and are riding high from Season 16 logging the series’ highest-rated season premiere in six years. Bailey can’t quite believe that the show is still gaining momentum.
“The more mature audience still loves it. They know they can count on falling in love with all these new artists and they can count on us as producers keeping it fresh,” Barbato says. “But young kids are discovering it. My 10-year-old kids have friends in their class who are watching it.”
The momentum for the show extends into its global ambitions. There are currently 20 international versions of “Drag Race” and counting. “UK vs. the World” Season 2 is close to launch, and later this year, the Mexico, Brazil, Germany and Italy show will be coming to Wow Presents Plus...
