You thought she wouldn’t bring you to this ball? Oh henny, Mother Ru always provides. The queen of drag queens (and recent Emmy winner) announced that the first season of Drag Race UK will premiere on Logo TV in the U.S. this October, so no need to find a shady way to keep up with the antics across the pond. The cast of ten queens — Baga Chipz, Blu Hydrangea, Cheryl Hole, Crystal, Divina De Campo, Gothy Kendoll, Scardey Kat, Sum Ting Wong, The Vivienne and Vinegar Strokes — will compete “in search of the UK’s very first Drag Race superstar.” If another Drag Race series isn’t enough to get you watching, just tune in for professed superfan and guest judge Andrew Garfield’s “day in gay heaven.” Michelle Visage joins at the judge’s table, of course, along with comedians Graham Norton and Alan Carr; other promised guest judges include performer Cheryl and Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams. The series premieres October 11 at 8 p.m., giving you ample time to find the perfect watch party. Cheerio!
Update, September 30: Vulture has confirmed that episodes of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK will premiere on WOW Presents Plus the same day they air on the BBC, beginning October 3, in addition to being televised on Logo TV eight days afterward starting October 11.
