Drag Race Germany is a German reality competition series, based on the original American series, RuPaul's Drag Race. The series is broadcast on MTV and Paramount+ in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and on WOW Presents Plus internationally.

Production

Originally in 2013, the German company Phantomfilm acquired the production rights to create a German adaptation of RuPaul's Drag Race.{{Cite web |title=Deutsche Version von "RuPaul's Drag Race" geplant |trans-title=German version of "RuPaul's Drag Race" planned |url=https://www.queer.de/detail.php?article_id=19824 |access-date=2023-08-16 |website=queer.de |language=de-DE}} World of Wonder, the production company behind RuPaul's Drag Race, confirmed the upcoming adaptation by releasing a teaser trailer featuring RuPaul.{{Citation |title=RuPaul Drag Race German Edition | date=14 August 2013 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCwynf9MPAE |access-date=2023-08-16 |language=en}}{{Citation |title=RuPaul's Drag Race Germany Mood Trailer | date=11 September 2013 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4bm99368Vw |access-date=2023-08-16 |language=en}} Taç Romey, the spokesperson for Phantomfilm at the time, announced that there would be little changes to the format, other than it having greater focus on comedy to adapt to the country's market, and that the show was going to air on a mainstream network, although the company was still negotiating with various channels for the broadcast. Ultimately, the company's licensing rights expired, which lead to a second attempt of producing Drag Race in Germany.

In 2019, RedSeven Entertainment has opened casting for a reality competition focused about drag queens. The show, with the name of Queen of Drags, aired in the same year on ProSieben.{{Cite web |title=Heidi Klum drag queen show sparks controversy |url=https://www.dw.com/en/germany-heidi-klum-drag-queen-show-sparks-backlash/a-49429713 |access-date=2023-08-16 |website=dw.com |language=en}} Bambi Mercury, one of the contestants on the show, later revealed in a podcast that the series was supposed to be a German adaptation of Drag Race franchise. However, after RedSeven failed to get licensing rights, the production company was forced to change the format of the show.{{Citation |title=GAG - Der Podcast: Episode 10 - Verfotzt mit Väterin Bambi Mercury |date=2020-01-17 |url=https://open.spotify.com/episode/2XCsHdEitjPPAGcLzQN480 |access-date=2023-08-16 |language=de}}
