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.

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.

They represent the hopes and dreams of all the outsiders around the world."
