RuPaul's Drag Race UK has been canceled by the BBC, ending its run after eight seasons. The BBC confirmed the cancellation of the popular franchise's UK spin-off, which showcased British drag talent.
The series first premiered in 2018 and quickly became a hit, drawing significant viewership and critical acclaim. Over the years, it crowned eight queens as the UK's Next Drag Superstar, including recent winner Ginger Johnson in the final season.
The decision to axe the show comes as the BBC shifts its focus for entertainment programming. No further details regarding the reasons for the cancellation or potential future platforms for the show have been announced.
