Production
Originally in 2017, Endemol Shine Brasil partnered with Passion Distribution, and acquired the production rights to create a Brazilian adaptation of RuPaul's Drag Race. RuPaul was unaware about the upcoming adaptation. Later in 2020, the production company "gave up the rights" for the Brazilian adaptation due to its conservatism in Brazil.World of Wonder, the production company behind RuPaul's Drag Race, posted three casting calls on social media on 8 August 2022. The casting calls were for new potential Drag Race adaptations in Brazil, Germany, and Mexico. The deadline for the potential competitors was set for 26 August, with the deadline for audition video submission set for 9 September 2022. In December, it was confirmed that the new editions of the Drag Race franchise would premiere "on MTV/Paramount+ in their respective territories."
Grag Queen was confirmed as a host and head judge in July 2023. The other two judges, Bruna Braga and Dudu Bertholini, were confirmed on July 19, as well as the premiere date, which was set for August 30. The cast was revealed on August 2.
