RuPaul’s Drag Race set to screen in the UK
In the famous words of drag queen Shangela, “Halleloo!”It’s today been announced RuPaul’s Drag Race will finally air across the UK, after channel truTV received the rights to the entire catalogue of the drag reality series.
The show will kick off in June with the exclusive UK premiere of season four and other specials such as RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked, the behind the scenes look at the X-rated shenanigans of the drag queens.
The hit US show, produced by World of Wonder, follows the journey of 14 drag queens as they are guided through lip-snycing, diva showdowns and insane dance battles by the legendary drag queen RuPaul and his close friend, Michelle Visage along with countless other celebrity judges.
Ru heralded the news with a flurry of excited tweets this afternoon:
