READ TIME: 1 MIN.
"RuPaul's Drag Race" vets Alyssa Edwards and Detox, who both appeared on the second season of "Drag Race All Stars," are getting their own digital spinoff shows, according to Variety.
"Haus of Edwards" will follow the life and work of Justin Johnson, who performs as Alyssa Edwards, as he returns to the dance studio in Mesquite, Texas. It will also center around his relationship with his "drag daughter" Laganja Estranja, who appeared on the sixth season of "Drag Race."
"Detox Life Rehab" will star Detox, who will offer viewers "life hacks with weekly surprise guests to share their own secrets about how to make life less of a... drag," Variety writes.
The programs will be released via World of Wonder Production's YouTube channel, WOW Presents, which has about 600,000 subscribers.
Both series will have eight episodes with a running time of about 30 minutes each. The shows will likely begin in late April to coincide with RuPaul's DragCon event in Los Angeles, which is scheduled for April 20-30. The episodes will be released weekly.
WOW co-founder Fenton Bailey told Variety the "goal is to create engaging content with truly original voices across all platforms."
"Justin and Detox bring a unique combination of comedy and drama to everything they do," he said, later adding, "It's exciting to tell stories of any length, not worrying where the commercial break is, and having freedom from [network] standards and practices."
