Netflix UK will say “sashay away” to RuPaul as multiple licensed Netflix shows from the world’s most famous drag queen are scheduled to leave the UK library soon.
RuPaul’s Drag Race was first added to Netflix UK over a decade ago, when five seasons of the reality competition arrived in November 2013. Since 2016, new seasons have been added to Netflix UK annually, and since 2017, it has been licensed as a Netflix Original. However, in 2021, it was revealed that the series found a new home on WOW Presents Plus, which then saw a mass exodus of seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race from the UK library, leaving a handful of content behind. New seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race have since been exclusive to WOW Presents Plus.

In 2024, we’ve continued seeing more of RuPaul’s output on Netflix depart as multiple seasons of RuPaul’s shows are due to leave the UK library between April 2024 and September 2025. That comes after Netflix has been slowly bleeding the main seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race since 2022.
