"Not Today Bianca" to debut this December
New York, NY – Logo announced last month that RuPaul's Drag Race season 6 winner and fan favorite Bianca Del Rio will star in Not Today Bianca, two original half-hour comedy specials that follow the drag queen superstar as she takes on Hollywood.
Debuting this December, the specials will co-star Emmy Award-winners RuPaul and comedy actress Kristen Johnston; actress and New York Times bestselling author Tori Spelling; and Tony Award-winning actress and Broadway star Marissa Jaret Winkour.
Back-to-back specials of “Not Today Bianca” featuring Bianca Del Rio, will premiere on Thursday, December 15 at 9 PM ET/PT, kicking off the network’s “Sleigh the Holidays” programming block which will continue through Sunday, January 1.
The show also features RuPaul’s Drag Race Judge Michelle Visage and TV host and personality Ross Mathews as well as Hollywood’s favorite BFF Rightor Doyle. Additional guest stars include Charo, Alec Mapa, Fortune Feimster and Coco Peru.
After winning RuPaul’s Drag Race season 6, Bianca Del Rio’s career has been on fire. She has toured the world playing for sold out crowds and most recently starred in her own movie, Hurricane Bianca.
In these two comedic specials, Del Rio takes her career to the next level and has moved to Hollywood to take on the world. In the first special, Bianca tries to flex her celebrity to go after a booking on Jimmy Kimmel Live, while in the second special Bianca learns the true meaning of the holidays.
“When Logo offered me my own comedy special, I said, ‘Let’s make it a double,’” cracked Bianca Del Rio. “Partnering with World of Wonder, the twisted minds behind RuPaul’s Drag Race, we mixed our favorite ‘90s movies, a splash of Broad City and topped if off with a pint of cheap vodka.
“The results are two off-the-wall episodes of Not Today Bianca that are based on my own sad and hilarious life since moving to Los Angeles.”
“Bianca’s sharp wit and hilarious sense of humor create the perfect comedy storm,” said Pamela Post, SVP of Original Programming for Logo. “Logo viewers are some of Bianca’s biggest fans and we are excited to have her back to deliver more laughs to the masses.”
Not Today Bianca is produced by World of Wonder Productions with RuPaul Charles, Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, John Hill and Roy Haylock (Bianca Del Rio) serving as Executive Producers. Tim Palazzola is an Executive Producer for Logo.
