It’s upfront season, which means all the media companies are unleashing new shows, and quietly cancelling some of our favorites. So far, we’ve learned of a new Housewives franchise, a full slate of new Peacock reality shows, and Kim Kardashian’s return to acting. With all of that news, you might have missed that RuPaul’s Drag Race star Michelle Visage landed a new series on the E! Network.
Michelle Visage will host Plastic Surgery Rewind with Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Spirit, PhD
Earlier this year, NBCUniversal and Comcast announced a change in their cable portfolio with a new entity called Versant. This group owns E!, USA Network, SyFy, and Oxygen. With that change came a few reworkings of their reality lineups, such as House of Villains making the move to Peacock. Other shows have been quietly cast into the abyss, like The Anonymous.
Despite all of the shuffling behind the scenes, the network is still committed to a lineup of reality TV. According to E! News, one of them is Michelle’s newly announced show, Plastic Surgery Rewind. The Drag Race star is teaming up with Dr. Terry Dubrow from The Real Housewives of Orange County and a “body image expert” named Dr. Spirit, PhD.
On Plastic Surgery Rewind, the trio will work with celebrities and influencers through a “transformative journey of self-discovery,” where they’ll reflect on their previous plastic surgeries and decide if they should return to a more natural look.
Of course, this is right up Michelle’s alley. A few years ago, she released a documentary called Explant, showcasing her journey to remove her breast implants. Her large breasts were the butt of a million jokes on Drag Race, but Michelle opted to remove her implants bcause she believed they were making her sick.
Oddly enough, the announcement of Plastic Surgery Rewind comes ten years after RuPaul had her own plastic surgery show on E! called Good Work. On that show, she also teamed up with Dr. Dubrow, but the premise was a little different. That show focused on them dishing about Hollywood’s biggest plastic surgeries, whereas this one is about self-reflection and confidence.
In addition to Plastic Surgery Rewind, other new shows coming to E! include a reboot of Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane with Kimora Lee Simmons. Plus, the network plans to air a docuseries called E! Dirty Rotten Scandals. It will uncover the “dirty truths” behind some of TV’s biggest shows, like America’s Next Top Model. The bottom line is, E!’s unique brand of reality TV isn’t going anywhere.
Plastic Surgery Rewind premieres this summer on E!
