A hot new cast of queens enter the werkroom as RuPaul kicks off the legendary race. Thandiwe Newton joins Michelle Visage and Alan Carr on the judging panel.

A brand spanking new series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK returns!

Over the next ten weeks, a cast of fabulous new drag queens will compete for RuPaul’s seal of approval and the much-coveted title of UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar.

International drag legend RuPaul welcomes the queens into the werkroom for the very first time. Entering one by one, they meet their fellow competitors, and of course, they meet RuPaul, who sets them a surprise first challenge. The queens are tasked with staging a talent show at the Werkin’ Queens’ Club - RuPaul’s very own twist on a traditional working men’s club.

Hollywood royalty Thandiwe Newton joins Mama Ru as celebrity guest on the judging panel alongside Michelle Visage and Alan Carr.

Start your engines! And may the best drag queen win!
