RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is set to move from the BBC to WOW Presents Plus, with a first-ever “All Stars” edition ordered by World of Wonder’s streaming platform. Variety and Deadline both report that the franchise’s UK All Stars season will premiere in Fall 2027.
Both outlets frame the announcement as a new chapter for the series, replacing the broadcaster’s role with streaming. Deadline specifically describes WOW Presents Plus ordering the global premiere and says it is intended to highlight the “artistry of the Queens” who have previously appeared on the UK runway. Variety adds that the change follows earlier reporting that the show would leave the BBC amid budget cuts, and it presents Fall 2027 as the timeframe for the return of the franchise.
While the outlets agree on the destination (WOW Presents Plus), the format (All Stars), and the release window (Fall 2027), they differ in emphasis: Deadline focuses on the series’ significance and the platform’s ordering, while Variety also addresses prior media reporting about the BBC exit.
