WOW Presents Plus Announces Summer Programming Slate Featuring an all-new Kori King and Lydia B Kollins project, BBC Acquisitions ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ and ‘Elton John: Uncensored’
WOW Presents Plus announces today a slate of July programming coming to the streaming platform, featuring the WOW Presents Plus debut of Kori King and Lydia B. Kollins who will be leading an all-new season of Binge Queens. Also coming to the WOW Presents Plus platform this month are two new acquisitions from the BBC; the cult-classic Absolutely Fabulous and intimate documentary project Elton John: Uncensored.
Premiering Monday, July 14, Binge Queens: Absolutely Fabulous sees Kori and Lydia revisit the first season of the iconic BBC series Absolutely Fabulous. Over six episodes, the duo whose showmance evolved into a real life romance will deliver their signature commentary and charm as they experience the raucous world of Edina and Patsy for the first time. Binge Queens: Absolutely Fabulous marks the first of two new WOW Presents Plus projects featuring the pair set to debut this year, with a second Kori King and Lydia B. Kollins original series currently in production.
“We can’t wait for our fans to watch Absolutely Fabulous with us, whether it’s their first time or their hundredth,” said Kori King and Lydia B. Kollins. “We watch absurd shows like this together all the time, and it’s been so exciting opening the door to our private nonsense with this series. This is just the beginning of our projects with WOW Presents Plus, so stay tuned and get excited for more!”
“We are thrilled to announce the addition of two amazing shows to the WOW Presents Plus library” said Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, co-founders of World of Wonder. “Patsy, Eddy and Sir Elton are already inspirations and beloved icons in the drag race universe. These shows spread the kind of light laughter and sheer joy we really need right now.”
Binge Queens: Absolutely Fabulous will be available worldwide on WOW Presents Plus starting July 14, launching the same day as the full Absolutely Fabulous series itself, which includes seasons 1–6 as well as the 2002 and 2004 specials. Elton John: Uncensored, the documentary which sees the legendary ‘Rocket Man’ look back at his extraordinary life and career through an intimate conversation with Graham Norton, will premiere Monday, July 21. Both Absolutely Fabulous and Elton John: Uncensored will and will be available in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
All three titles will join World of Wonder’s expansive library of original programming, which features more than 1,500 hours of ambitious and diverse storytelling including the entire international Drag Race franchise, original WOW Presents Plus programming, and World of Wonder-produced documentary films. Absolutely Fabulous and Elton John: Uncensored join a rapidly expanding acquisition library on the platform which includes House on Fire, The Elvira Collection, I Hate People, People Hate Me and more.
