Shantay you stay!

Fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK rejoice! RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Versus The World is set to return to BBC Three & iPlayer for a highly anticipated second series.

In this series spin off, the winning formula of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is elevated to the next level as RuPaul invites the crème de la crème of Drag Racers from across the globe to compete alongside the Drag Race UK queens for the coveted title of Queen of the Mother Tucking World. For the first time in Drag Race UK herstory the winning Queen will also receive a cash prize.

Judge Supremo, RuPaul is joined by resident judges Michelle Visage, Graham Norton, Alan Carr and a sparkling array of superstar guest judges and celebrity cameos (full cast and guest judge details to be ru-vealed in due course)

It’s hard to believe, but with its strategic game play, and big characters all desperate to prove that they and their country’s drag is the best, this fierce competition is packed with even more twists and turns than its sister series and viewers can expect high drama and electrifying culture clashes of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent!

The first highly successful series saw queens from Canada, Thailand, Holland, and the big hitters of America take on the Drag Race UK graduates, and after many tears, surprise eliminations, promises of alliances, and a fierce final face off against US queen, Mo Heart, it was Blu Hydrangea who finally took home the crown for the UK.

BUT that was then and this is now, and the question remains, can the UK reign supreme again?

Let the battle commence!

RuPaul says: “It is my honour to present the second sickening instalment of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Vs. The World. When queens of this calibre come together, something truly magical happens. I can’t wait to share the international love with audiences in the UK and around the globe!”

Fiona Campbell, Controller Youth Audience (BBC iPlayer & BBC Three) says: “We’re thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of Drag Race UK versus The World for a second series on BBC Three! Get ready for more fierce competition, dazzling performances, and a celebration of drag excellence from queens around the globe. It’s going to be an unforgettable journey that pushes the boundaries of creativity and charisma. Tune in for a season that promises to be bigger, bolder, and more fabulous than ever!”

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Versus The World will be on BBC Three and iPlayer in early 2024.
