There are already a lot of drag races going on TV right now, between the United States and Canada. You’ll have to find room in your schedule to add one more to your watchlist. RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs. the World is back, and we’ve got details of what’s in store.
Can the UK be defeated in RPDR UK vs The World Season 3?
The title went to the UK in the first two editions of UK vs. the World. Blue Hydrangea won the first season, when the only prize was a poem on a RuPaul song. The next season went to Tia Coffey, and it’s a win that some fans are still debating online. Now, an astonishing new generation of global superstars will compete for €50,000 and the coveted title of Queen of the Motherfucking World. Check out the cast lineup below.
- Fontana (Sweden)
- Godland (Thailand)
- Kate Butch (UK)
- Maria Balenciaga (America)
- Melinda Varga (Canada)
- Minty Fresh (Philippines)
- the one and only naomi (germany)
- Serena Morena (Mexico)
- Sminty Drop (UK)
- Zahira Zapanta (UK)
A true global competition, the cast of Season 3 of UK vs. the World features queens from every corner of the Drag Race universe. Sminty Drop, Zahira Zapanta, and Kate Butch will represent the UK, and they have big expectations for their country.
Maria Baleniaga joins the competition as the eldest queen and only American contestant in the group. After originally competing on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 3 and returning for All Stars 5, she’s hoping the third time’s the charm.
Another big standout in the lineup is Melinda Varga. She made a splash on Canada’s Drag Race Season 4 before returning to TV on The Traitors Canada. In a statement, she made it clear she was ready to bring some traitor-hunting skills to the workroom.
Melinda teased, “I’m down for backstabbing and manipulation. I’ll send these bitches home.”
Season 3 is coming soon. Keep your eyes open for more information about the premiere date. In the meantime, go ahead and start guessing which queens will make it to the finals.
