In its eighth season, the "RuPaul's Drag Race" phenomenon reached new heights. The show's ability to connect with an ever growing popular audience while at the same time receiving rave reviews from major media outlets is a testament to Drag Race's ability to push boundaries creatively and intellectually.

From Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' Milojo Productions, "Fire Island" is a docuseries following a group of young, New York City professionals who leave behind the stress of their big city lives and escape to the magical sun-soaked oasis that is Fire Island Pines. The series, like a love letter to "the Pines," highlights the adventures and relationships of friends and lovers as they experience the magic and excitement of the landmark location.

"Fire Island" is executive produced by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' Milojo Productions along with Albert Bianchini and Lenid Rolov. Pamela Post and Tim Palazzola serve as Executive Producers and Jen Passovoy serves as Producer for Logo.

"'Fire Island' is an exciting new addition to Logo's slate and perfectly complements the stories our audience craves," said Pamela Post, SVP of Original Programing for Logo. "We're thrilled to give it a home alongside yet another incredible season of intense competition on 'RuPaul's Drag Race.'"

"Season 9 of 'RuPaul's Drag Race' will be bigger, better and more twisted than ever," said Executive Producer RuPaul. "Thank you Logo for continuing to provide a powerful platform for these brave, gorgeous and creative souls to tell their stories. They represent the hopes and dreams of all the outsiders around the world."
