RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars 5 has released an air date and, after the spin-off’s eight-year-long history, will switch networks.
The show will switch from the VH1 network to the premium subscription channel in the showtimes' on-air broadcast and will stream in on-demand services on June 5 at 8:00 mp.
‘EW’ has learned that All-Stars 5 will serve as a “special edition of the series aimed at expanding the ViacomCBS brand’s audience across its various networks, as both Showtime, which has historically broadcast LGBTQ-focused programming (such as ‘The L Word’, ‘Shameless’, and ‘Queer as Folk’), and VH1 fall under the brand’s ownership.”
“RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars is a culture-defining show that fits perfectly within the contemporary programming Showtime offers in both scripted and unscripted,” said Jana Winograde, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks, in a press statement. “We are excited to take advantage of our relationship with our new sister company VH1 to present a special edition of this sensational series and bring in this passionate and robust fanbase. It’s the latest example of how we can leverage our combined portfolio to provide new experiences for our audience.”
