Which reality show follows contestants competing to become the next drag superstar?

'RuPaul's Drag Race' follows contestants competing to become the next drag superstar.

The show combines design, comedy, acting, performance, choreography, music, and runway presentation. Contestants are judged on their ability to create characters and deliver polished drag performances under changing weekly requirements.

The US edition premiered in 2009, with RuPaul serving as host, head judge, and executive producer. The winner receives the title of America's Next Drag Superstar, along with a prize package that has varied across seasons.

The competition is often mistaken for a general talent show because it includes singing, dancing, and acting challenges. Its defining subject, however, is drag performance and the creative work surrounding it. The franchise later expanded into many international editions, but the original US show is the source of the title and format named here.
