The first British series has slayed audiences and is a runway success for BBC Three with 6.5m requests so far on BBC iPlayer, weeks ahead of the final on 21st November.
The new eight-part series will air in 2020 and applications are now open to find another set of sickening queens to compete in the Olympics of drag.

Speaking about the new series, RuPaul says “I want to thank the BBC and all our fans for their overwhelming support of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. This season’s queens proved that Britain’s Got Charisma Uniqueness Nerve and Talent and I want to see more! Here’s to another season of love, laughter and light!"
BBC Three's Controller, Fiona Campbell said “I’m delighted that BBC Three will be the home for series two of Drag Race UK. Every single queen for series one has brought something different to the table and I’ve loved watching and getting to know them. The show is a huge hit for us and we’re very much looking forward to unleashing another series for our audience to tuck into!"
Whilst Kate Phillips, Controller, Entertainment Commissioning added "The response to the current UK series has been nothing short of dragulous; our viewers have really taken the show and the amazing queens to their hearts. So I’m delighted that Ru and the gang are going to shantay stay. Let the search for the next group of queens begin!”
