📰 What Happened
RuPaul's Drag Race UK is moving from the BBC to the streaming platform WOW Presents Plus. For the first time, the UK version will get its own All Stars season. The new series is set to premiere in Fall 2027 and will celebrate the queens who have worked the UK runway.
The platform will also carry all eight seasons of Drag Race UK and the three seasons of UK vs The World. Producers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato thanked the BBC and said they were excited for this new chapter.
🔍 The Backstory
Drag Race started in the United States and grew into a global phenomenon. Local versions now air in Canada, Mexico, Belgium, France, Brazil, Australia, the Philippines and many more countries. The UK edition built a huge fanbase on the BBC.
All Stars seasons bring back fan-favourite queens for a second shot at the crown. Moving to WOW Presents Plus, which the show's creators own, gives the franchise more freedom. But viewers without a subscription may lose easy access. MTV recently renewed the original US show for Season 19 and ordered Season 12 of its All Stars.
🎯 Why It Matters
