‘Drag Race’ season 6 to premiere on UK Netflix at midnight
By Will Stroude
The latest season of RuPaul’s Drag Race will premiere on UK Netflix at midnight (July 31).
Season six of the world’s fiercest reality show – which aired in the US on LGBT network LOGO earlier this year – features queens including Bianco Del Rio, Adore Delano, Courtney Act and Laganja Estranja.
The series will not include the controversial ‘Female or Shemale’ game – which saw contestants try to determine whether a photo showed a cis-gender (non-trans) woman or a former Drag Race contestant – after some viewers complained that the segment’s language was transphobic.
RuPaul later hit back at critics of the show, saying: “Bitch, you need to get stronger.”
Earlier this week (July 27), it was revealed that a sequel to hit mobile game RuPaul’s Drag Race: Dragopolis is in the works, with a release date to be announced soon.
Last month (June), RuPaul and fellow judge Michelle Visage discussed a potential UK version of the show after it was reported that Jonathan Ross has acquired the rights to the series – Click here to find out more.
The first five seasons of Drag Race have been available on UK Netflix since last December.
