RuPaul is back this Friday with a brand new season of Drag Race US – his original hit reality show – but those expecting it to be on Netflix are in for a surprise.

The iconic drag competition, which begins its 14th season this week, has moved platforms so viewers in the UK will have to turn elsewhere for their dose of queen fierceness.

Last year, frontrunner Symone took the title of the Next Drag Superstar and now she’s passing on the baton to 14 new queens, all of whom are hoping to impress Ru and the panel of judges.

Here’s everything you need to know about RuPaul’s Drag Race season 14 and how to watch it in the UK.

The full line-up for RuPaul’s Drag Race season 14 was announced in December, with former winner Symone revealing the 14 new queens who’ll be hoping to impress Ru and the judges this year.

This season marks the first time in Drag Race history that a straight cisgender man has taken part in the competition, with Maddy Morphosis joining the line-up.
