READ TIME: 2 MIN.
A fresh chapter in LGBTQ+ reality television has launched with the arrival of "My Untucked Life", a docu-series streaming on WOW Presents Plus and centering on the unfiltered, daily realities of famed "RuPaul’s Drag Race" alumni. Unlike previous Drag Race spin-offs, "My Untucked Life" is self-shot by the queens themselves, granting viewers unprecedented access to both the dazzling and deeply personal moments that define their off-stage lives .
Starring fan favorites including Lexi Love, Salina EsTitties, Nicole Paige Brooks, Serena Morena, AJA, M1ss Jade So, and Joey Jay, the series departs from the high-gloss, competition-driven format of its predecessors. Instead, it offers a candid, vignette-style portrait of queer artistry, resilience, and community. The show premieres on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, on WOW Presents Plus. .
What sets "My Untucked Life" apart is its innovative approach: each queen is equipped with cameras to document their own lives, resulting in an authentic, unmediated narrative. This self-authored perspective enables the stars to highlight the intersection of their drag artistry with their personal identities, relationships, and ambitions. The series showcases not only the queens’ sold-out gigs and runway-ready looks, but also their intimate friendships, family dynamics, and romantic partnerships.
For example, in an exclusive first-look segment, Joey Jay introduces viewers to her partner, Nicholas Mardis, offering a glimpse of queer domesticity rarely seen in mainstream media. The episode features a tour of their home in Phoenix, Arizona, blending glamour with grounded, everyday realities .
The series arrives at a pivotal moment for LGBTQ+ visibility in entertainment, building on the growing demand for programs that reflect the complexity and diversity of queer lives. As noted by leading LGBTQ+ media critics, "My Untucked Life" helps fill a gap left by the cancellation or hiatus of other groundbreaking series such as "The L Word: Generation Q" and "Work in Progress" . By shifting the focus from competition to daily life, the show contributes to a broader movement toward nuanced, intersectional storytelling in queer media.
Beyond the entertainment value, the docu-series provides an important platform for discussing issues relevant to the LGBTQ+ community. Topics such as chosen family, mental health, body positivity, and navigating public life as a queer artist are explored from the authentic perspectives of the queens themselves. The inclusion of diverse cast members—spanning various gender identities, backgrounds, and artistic styles—reinforces the series’ commitment to intersectional representation.
