All the tea on ‘Drag Race UK’ & ‘Drag Race Canada’
The queens keep coming. What began as a cheeky 2019 preview of two brand-new editions has turned into a full-blown international franchise. Drag Race UK and Drag Race Canada now sit alongside more than twenty other versions produced by World of Wonder, each bringing its own regional flavor while keeping the core formula intact.
Canadian and British fans no longer wait for a first season. They track ongoing runs, spin-offs, and All Stars editions the way other viewers follow awards-season campaigns. The expansion has also created fresh pathways for queens who once had to travel to Los Angeles for a shot at the main stage.
Who will the Drag Race Canada host and judges be?
Brooke Lynn Hytes has anchored the series since its debut, serving as both host and judge. For the newly launched All Stars season, Priyanka and Jimbo joined her to form the first all-drag judging panel in franchise history. The move mirrors the U.S. edition’s shift toward letting established queens guide the competition.
When will Drag Race Canada air?
Regular seasons have aired annually since 2020. The first All Stars edition premiered on July 9, 2026, on WOW Presents Plus, replacing the original “next year at the earliest” timeline with a steady calendar of new episodes.
