RuPaul's Drag Race season 6 winner Bianca Del Rio is expanding her ever-growing multimedia empire by launching a brand-new podcast in 2021. The fans got to know Bianca Del Rio all the way back in 2014 during Drag Race season 6. On the show, Bianca's hardworking nature - combined with her sewing skills and sense of humor - took her all the way to the finale. She had a very tough competition that year, fighting for the crown against fan-favorite Adore Delano and Australian superstar Courtney Act. Still, Bianca was crowned America's Next Drag Superstar.
But even more impressive has been Bianca Del Rio's post-Drag Race career. In the years that followed, Bianca starred in two Hurricane Bianca movies, headlined four comedy tours, and maintained her status as the most-followed Drag Race contestant on Instagram. The queen also made headlines in 2019 after landing a major role in the West End musical Everybody's Talking About Jamie. In 2020, Bianca made a guest appearance on Netflix's AJ And The Queen and was nominated for a Drag Royalty award at the Queerties. Now, the season 6 champion is exploring a new frontier in 2021.
In January 2021, RuPaul's Drag Race winner Bianca Del Rio will be launching her own podcast. Shockingly, this is Bianca's first-ever podcast series. The show is under the working title Bianca Del Rio and will be produced by Starburns Audio, a company that is also responsible for Bob The Drag Queen and Monet X Change's Sibling Rivalry podcast. With the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of Drag Race queens have gone on to launch new podcasts. That includes Raja and Delta Work's Very That, as well as Latrice Royale and Manila Luzon's The Chop, to name a few. You can check out Bianca's official announcement below and subscribe to the new podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
It hasn't been made clear yet what Bianca Del Rio's new podcast will consist of, but the fans are surely expecting that the ultimate comedy queen of RuPaul's Drag Race will produce a show that heavily features her witty and snarky sense of humor. As with most podcasts, Bianca might invite certain guests to be featured on the show, but there's also room for the queen to just do her own thing, perhaps with a co-host or even by herself. All things considered, making people laugh with a microphone has never been an issue for this seasoned standup comedian.
The fans can't wait for this Bianca Del Rio podcast to be available. Stay tuned for more news about Bianca and her upcoming projects.
RuPaul's Drag Race season 13 premieres Friday, January 1, 2021 at 8pm EST on VH1.
