It’s time to go Down Under! The premiere date for the Australian version of RuPaul’s Drag Race has been announced, and it’s arriving so much sooner than we thought. According to World of Wonder, Down Under will sashay onto our screens on – drum roll please, May 1. It will be available in the United States and select territories on WOW Presents Plus, TVNZ on New Zealand and Stan in Australia. Down Under will be the third iteration in the franchise with RuPaul and Michelle Visage, after the US original and Drag Race UK. They will be joined on the panel by Australian comedian Rhys Nicholson. Like the original, the contestants will take part in weekly challenges and the bottom two queens will lip-sync for their lives to remain in the competition. Like Drag Race UK season one, Down Under will run for eight episodes.
