A brand new spinoff of RuPaul's Drag Race will help relaunch BBC Three as a linear TV channel in February, it has been announced.
Called RuPaul's Drag Race: UK Versus The World, the new show will see nine international stars of Drag Race compete to be crowned the ultimate worldwide champion.
The four regular judges from the UK series - RuPaul, Michelle Visage, Graham Norton and Alan Carr - will all return for the spinoff, in addition to a bunch of extra special guest judges.
The show - which was filmed at the start of this year - will be the centrepiece of BBC Three's relaunch night on February 1, 2022.
The BBC has also confirmed two other commissions for the channel, including a six-part true crime documentary called Santa Claus The Serial Killer, which tells the story of a Canadian serial killer who preyed on men in Toronto's gay village.
The other commission is Flight Club, a 10-part fly-on-the-wall documentary following the cabin crew and staff working for Scottish regional airline Loganair.
