The race is nearly on. BBC has dropped the first teaser for RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season seven, offering fans a quick, but dazzling, glimpse of the incoming queens.
The brief clip, shared on the show’s official social media channels, flashes an array of tulle, rhinestones and other mesmerizing materials. It’s just enough sparkle to keep fans guessing which performers will be competing for the crown.
The caption confirms that the full cast list will be unveiled Friday, Aug. 22, with the new season streaming “soon” on WOW Presents Plus.
When to Expect Season 7
While an exact premiere date remains under wraps, Drag Race UK has a pattern. Past seasons typically kicked off in September and ran weekly through late November. That means viewers might want to block out their Thursday nights this fall.
The Fandom Reacts
As expected, the teaser sent fans and past contestants into overdrive. Season six winner Kyran Thrax commented, “Oh my god oh my god oh my god,” while season 5 contestant, DeDeLicious, simply exclaimed “CAN’T WAIT.”
Season six competitor Michael Marouli joined in, exclaiming, “Eeeeeek! So exciting,” One enthusiastic fan went full caps lock: “OMG OMG OMG!!! So excited!!!!”
Looking Back at Season 6
The last season crowned Kyran Thrax as the UK’s next drag superstar, triumphing over fan-favorite La Voix, who snagged four challenge wins. Season six was praised for its standout Snatch Game, sharp acting challenges and a cast brimming with personality, including Lill, Marmalade and Rileasa Slaves.
The bar is high, but if the glitter-soaked teaser is anything to go by, season seven is revving to keep the momentum.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season six is available to stream now on WOW Presents Plus, giving fans the perfect chance to relive the drama before a new batch of queens hits the runway.
