What can we expect from this episode
The UK version of RuPaul’s Drag Race is back with a brand new season!
A group of dazzling new drag queens will battle it out over the course of ten weeks to earn RuPaul’s approval and the prestigious title of UK’s Next Drag Race Superstar.
This premiere episode features international drag icon RuPaul as he officially introduces the queens to the werk room for the first time. As they walk in, they meet the other contestants and, of course, RuPaul, who surprises them with the first challenge: In this case, Ru reveals that not one, not two, but all three of their appearances will be evaluated. The only remaining mystery is which contestant will make the most formidable initial impression on Mama Ru and the other judges.
RuPaul is debating the fate of the queens with the help of supermodel Kristen McMenamy, actress Michelle Visage, and comedian Alan Carr. Nobody wants to go out first, of course.
Mama Ru presides as fabulous queens aim to be the UK’s next Drag Race superstar. Who will dazzle the celeb judges and the amazing Michelle Visage? Join the party, squirrel friends!
