Season chronology

The second season of Drag Race Brasil premiered on July 10, 2025.

Production

The second season of Drag Race Brasil was confirmed to be in production on February 5, 2024 by Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, co-founders of World of Wonder and executive producers of the Drag Race franchise. The second season of Drag Race México was greenlit simultaneously.[1] The first season having aired on Paramount+, it was also confirmed that the second season would be available exclusively on WOW Presents Plus, World of Wonder's own streaming platform.[2]

Filming for the season reportedly commenced on January 29, 2025 and lasted for three weeks. Unlike the first season, which was filmed in Colombia, the filming location for the second season was Portugal.[3] In January the show's host, Grag Queen, began posting teasers of the set on social media, thus confirming her involvement with the season.[4]

The season's cast was announced on June 3, 2025 alongside confirmation that regular judges Bruna Braga and Dudu Bertholini would be returning from the first season to join Grag Queen on the panel.[5]
