Bullying Works! RuPaul's Drag Race Is Returning To 90-Minute Episodes
Here's when and why...
After a full month of complaints about the shorter episode format on RuPaul's Drag Race's fifteenth season, the Emmy-Award-winning competition series is returning to its 90-minute format.
With the announcement of Season 15 and the move to MTV, the series cut down the episodes from 1.5-hour airtime to 1 with commercials. Ever since, both fans and the queens have been complaining about the quickened pace of the show, chaotic edit, and seconds-long runways. And they weren't afraid to let the network know about their dissatisfaction. "We worked too hard and invested too much money for a 45 min edit," contestant Salina EsTitties tweeted. "I say this as a viewer and fan of the show. I just wanted to see more of the gals."
Now, their prayers have been answered. The series announced the news on social media. "Get ready, racers," the official account tweeted.
\u201cGet ready, racers \ud83c\udfc1 #DragRace returns to 90-minute episodes starting Friday March 10 at 8/7c on @MTV \ud83d\udc51\u201d— RuPaul's Drag Race (@RuPaul's Drag Race) 1675962059
Beginning March 10, Drag Race officially returns to the hour-and-a-half episode format.
But what does that means for the Real Friends of WeHo, the controversial reality series that many fans believed was the reason why episodes were shortened? According to EW, "The channel also moved its new reality show The Real Friends of WeHo to the hour immediately following Drag Race, replacing the regular slot occupied by companion show Untucked, which moved to 10 p.m. weekly as a result."
A new episode of RuPaul's Drag Race premieres tomorrow night on MTV. Watch a preview clip below:
