'GROWING UP IS A DRAG' Sets Premiere Date on Snapchat

Variety reports that Snap will continue releasing Snapchat original shows and sets the premiere date for "Growing Up Is a Drag," a docu-series about teen drag stars.

The series premieres Monday, Dec. 17, and will run daily through Dec. 24 on the Snapchat Discover page. "Growing Up Is a Drag," a coming-of-age story, showcases kids who live across the U.S. as they use social media as a lifeline to find community, connection and friendship in the teen-queen scene.

Bunim-Murray, the production company behind much reality television, will produce.

"Bunim-Murray has a long history of creating opportunities for underrepresented voices so bringing this groundbreaking series to Snap was a natural fit," said chairman and CEO Gil Goldschein. "We know viewers are going to love following these creative, courageous teens as we watch them pursue their dreams amidst adversity and use their drag alter-egos to boost their own self-confidence and find their place in this world."

Executive producer Patty Ivins called the cast "truly brave, authentic and hilarious as they live their truth, defying society's norms... They are truly the best example of the power of nonfiction media to open audiences up to new worlds and new friends."
