RuPaul Charles, Michelle Visage, Graham Norton and Alan Carr will all be returning to our screens for series two, bringing some much needed joy to the UK and, let's face it, the world!
Just like the first series, which had an endless supply of extra special celebrity guests including Jade Thirlwall from Little Mix and actor Andrew Garfield, series two will also welcome amazing guests stars.
You will have to wait and see who the twelve incoming queens are, but we are sure the second series will be even bigger and bolder than the first!
The queens will battle it out in the Olympics of Drag to claim the title of the UK' Next Drag Superstar over 10 weeks. In series one, The Vivienne was crowned RuPaul's very first Drag Race UK Superstar with Divina De Campo and Baga Chipz both runners' up.
