“Check your engines and assemble the crew,” because we have a release date for RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. According to the BBC, season six will sashay onto our screens on Thursday 26 September at 8pm.
As always, it will air simultaneously on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. The channel also revealed that season five, which memorably saw Ginger Johnson take the crown, “racked up the most BBC Three brand viewer hours with all previous five series acquiring 79.8M requests on BBC iPlayer, continuing to establish the title as a much loved, highly lauded, competitive reality smash hit for BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.” Confirmed to run for 10 weeks, season six will follow the queens as they face off in a variety of iconic challenges, from designing to acting and forming a girl group, as well as the legendary Snatch Game.
The winner of each episode earns a coveted RuPeter Badge, while the two bottoms will lip-sync for their life to stay in the competition.
