I'm not surprised to see that filming is resuming on the other Drag Race shows, I suppose it's not a difficult show to film safely since you could probably social distance quite easily. It won't surprise me if we see a lot of individual and design challenges in the next few seasons, which isn't a bad thing as the focus on unfunny group challenges as of late is starting to wear thin.

When did they even film S13 though?

But yay at them resuming filming!

It’s ongoing

so probably not out until next year then :(

They usually film during the summer months anyway, AS5 was filmed back in June i think and S12 in August

So they changed it this year, since I read that AS6 is going to start filming next week.

Too bad we won't get DR UK this year, but oh well, hopefully it's worth the wait and they don't rush back to filming it during these Miss Rona times. I'm surprised they are filming the American version right now, as the US are far from being done with Miss Rona. Pretty sure they took some strong measures to prevent the virus.

There's usually 6 months+ between filming ending and transmission when it comes to Drag Race.

If S13 is on in Feb as normal, can't see the two series being on at the same time so don't think we'll get the UK series until May at the earliest. Unless they try and rush-release it for January and February.

12 aired May - July so they could do UK Feb/March, 13&AS6 May-Aug

12 aired February to May, AS5 aired June to July

Omg did it :skull:

Well they can fookin push it back!

i think it's likely for the UK one depending on getting to the UK and back to usa situation for RuPaul :worry: (USA borders are closed i think)

Oh my god, we’re so getting 13 and AS6 before UK2 aren’t we? :(

because the UK one isn't important, US one is the original one that comes first

I wouldn't say that, it was a bit of a hit for BBC Three, so it's nothing to do with the importance of the series. It's easier to complete the filming on the US editions as Ru and Michelle are already in America.

They can't get over here due to the travel restrictions.. so it's more the case of it being practical over it being more important.

a non-existing channel :skull:

By that logic you're on a forum for a non-existent TV show

...I know this is so last season but it was lovely to see The Vivienne on Michelle’s, How’s Your Head, Hun, yesterday...:lovedup:...I’ve loved seeing Michelle with her family as well...:flutter:...

...oh, obviously Ru as well...:laugh:...

It's apparently being "regrouped" whatever that means. Confirmed at Ed TV Fest that they were midway through filming the second series - basically meaning they're trying to get everyone back together in the UK.

I could see them potentially having to draft in someone to replace Ru and Michelle. I'd be surprised if the ban on US travel gets lifted any time soon. Either that or they'll just put screens on their spots on the Judge's table and have them watch proceedings over Zoom which would be such a mess I'd kinda wanna see it.

I'd honestly rather they just wait until Ru and Mich can rejoin

I didn’t realise there was a ban on US travel I just thought you had to isolate upon arrival?

Most countries banned travellers from the US a while ago, I'm pretty sure it's still in effect.

Alan said on Lorraine this morning that they’re finishing filming in a fortnight
