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.[1] RuPaul was unaware about the upcoming adaptation.[2] Later in 2020, the production company "gave up the rights" for the Brazilian adaptation due to its conservatism in Brazil.[3][4]

World of Wonder, the production company behind RuPaul's Drag Race, posted three casting calls on social media on 8 August 2022.[5] The casting calls were for new potential Drag Race adaptations in Brazil, Germany, and Mexico.[6][7] The deadline for the potential competitors was set for 26 August, with the deadline for audition video submission set for 9 September 2022.[8] In December, it was confirmed that the new editions of the Drag Race franchise will premiere "on MTV/Paramount+ in their respective territories."[9]

Grag Queen was confirmed as a host and head judge in July 2023.[10] 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.[11] The cast was revealed on August 2.[12]
