Is there a Drag Race Down Under queen on RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK Versus The World?
Unfortunately, there’s no ANZ representation on RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK Versus The World due to the fact the season filmed before Drag Race Down Under even aired. However, we would be wildly surprised not to see a queen appear in season 2.
When does the season premiere on Stan?
The new international season will premiere on Stan on February 1st. In the meantime, you can catch up on the competing queens’ original seasons here.
