Series two of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK will arrive on our screens in early 2021, the BBC has confirmed.
The broadcaster announced today that the long-awaited reality series, hosted by US drag queen RuPaul, will be back next year with Michelle Visage, Graham Norton and Alan Carr returning to judge a fabulous new cohort of queens – while casting for series three is officially open.
BBC Three added that series two “will be even bigger than the first”, with an extended line-up of 12 queens competing for the coveted title of the UK’s Next Drag Superstar over 10 weeks instead of eight.
