The eagerly anticipated third season of “Drag Race UK Vs the World” is set to premiere on Tuesday, January 27, at 9 PM BST on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. This season continues the tradition established in earlier seasons, featuring a star-studded lineup of international queens, including three representatives from “Drag Race UK,” a fan-favorite from “Drag Race Sverige,” and a seasoned American queen returning for the third time.
Among the contestants is Fontana, the runner-up from the inaugural season of “Drag Race Sverige.” With one challenge win under her belt, Fontana proved to be a formidable contestant and is ready to compete again.
Another fierce contender is Gawdland, who finished in third place on “Drag Race Thailand” season three. Known for her two challenge wins and impressive track record of never landing in the bottom two, Gawdland brings her competitive spirit to the playground.
Adding to the excitement is Kate Butch from “Drag Race UK” season five, who gained a loyal fanbase with her campy aesthetic and sharp humor. After a fifth-place finish, she is back in pursuit of the international crown.
Mariah Paris Balenciaga, a veteran of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” seasons three and All Stars 5, also returns, having wowed audiences with her charisma and stage presence despite her early eliminations in previous competitions.
From “Canada’s Drag Race,” Melinda Verga joins the cast, having previously made waves with her unforgettable moments during her season. Minty Fresh, a top contender from “Drag Race Philippines,” and Serena Morena, who made her mark during the inaugural season of “Drag Race México,” are also part of this diverse lineup.
The cast is rounded out by Sminty Drop from “Drag Race UK” season four, The Only Naomy from “Drag Race Germany,” and Zahirah Zapanta, who recently competed on the sixth season of “Drag Race UK.” Each queen brings her unique flair and experience, ensuring thrilling competition and memorable moments for fans.
All previous seasons of “Drag Race UK” and “Drag Race: UK vs. the World” can be streamed on BBC iPlayer in the UK and WOW Presents Plus globally. Anticipation is high for the new season, as fans gear up to witness the next chapter in this electrifying franchise.
