THE AMAZING ‘RACE’

Hang on to your custom-designed hats: Three international editions of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” each will return for their third season. The streaming service WOW Presents Plus says “Drag Race France,” “Drag Race Philippines” and “Drag Race Thailand” each will threepeat. “Thailand,” which last aired in 2019, and “France” are set for 2024; no time frame was announced for “Philippines.”

GREAT SCOTT!

Twin home-renovation stars Drew and Jonathan Scott will helm two more HGTV series in addition to their “Property Brothers” franchise and other shows, the basic-cable network announced.

The new series, each under a working title, are “Backed by the Bros,” in which the siblings offer insight and resources to help inexperienced  entrepreneurs find success with investment properties, and “Don’t Hate Your House with the Property Brothers,” where they find ways to fix problematic homes for frustrated families who want to love their house. Each show is slated to premiere next year.

The brothers, 45, also will host a seventh season of HGTV’s “Celebrity IOU,” in which a different star each episode shows home-renovation appreciation to someone close to them.
