The fourth season of Drag Race France debuts on July 8 on France 2 and france.tv.
The show faces political scrutiny over its public service role and criticism from some LGBTQIA+ advocates regarding its mainstream portrayal.
A high-profile judging panel for the new season includes Isabelle Adjani, Galia Salimo, and Anggun.
Producers aim to balance spectacular performances with open discussions on critical social and personal issues.
