A New Chapter in Entertainment
Michelle Visage, the RuPaul’s Drag Race icon and Drag Race Down Under host, is embarking on an exciting new career direction in 2025, while maintaining her presence on screen.
The multi-talented entertainer has recently expanded her portfolio with roles in the BBC sitcom ‘Smoggie Queens’ and as a producer for ‘Scissorhandz: A Musical Reinvented,’ a queer reimagining of Tim Burton’s classic. Visage has expressed her intention to focus more on scripted work in 2025, aiming to showcase different facets of her talent.
Global Drag Race Empire
In a historic moment for the franchise, Visage is set to host the groundbreaking ‘Stan Original Drag Race Down Under vs The World,’ where international queens will compete against Down Under’s finest talent. This follows the success of similar global spin-offs like UK vs The World and Canada vs The World.
Additionally, 2025 kicks off with Season 17 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, where Visage returns to the judging panel alongside Carson Kressley, Ts Madison, and Ross Mathews, as queens compete for a $200,000 prize.
New Ventures and Recognition
In an exciting development, Visage has been announced as the host of her own reality television show on the E! network. This announcement follows her previous success with her documentary ‘Explant,’ which documented her personal journey with breast implant removal and its health implications.
Her impressive career continues to flourish as she maintains her status as a four-time Emmy and three-time Producer’s Guild award winner, while expanding her influence across multiple entertainment platforms.
Looking Ahead
As Visage’s new projects unfold, audiences can anticipate fresh perspectives, enhanced drama, and legendary performances across her various platforms, solidifying her position as a global entertainment icon.
