I don’t see S13 or AS6 (the latter of which I don’t even think is happening) filming until next year now, which is probably a good thing, 3/4 seasons a year is too much

I thought it was only intra-european flights and US people were banned.

Anyway, had they spread out S12, AS5, Canada, Celebrity Drag Race we wouldn't be there without a show for months

[UserSince2005]

We could do with a few months off to be fair.

And anyway if they really want to get the show back on air then they can turn the post production period around much fast than they currently do.

Whats happening with Australia Drag Race anyway?

There's been no word in regard to Drag Race Australia for about a year afaik (it certainly hasn't been cast or filmed), although some producer said that there were currently seven international Drag Race spin-offs in the works so people are assuming Australia is one of them

It’s a shame the UK one has been affected. If anything it’s the USA version that needed a rest

As far as I know they filmed 3 eps before covid

They filmed four eps, yeah (which I think, in terms of Drag Race's schedule, is just over a week of filming?)

[Josiah.]

Yes, and if I remember correctly from one of the bonus clips from S7 untucked, they at least get breaks from filming on the weekends.

As far as I know the UK series film an ep over 2 days (3 eps per week with one day off).

I believe they are back filming late October into November

Not really most shows have already started. There's a thing called quarantine which the drag queens and production will have to do before filming until they are eliminated/finished. Strictly is doing it, Im a celeb is doing it, BBUS have done it.

yes, however in case of positive tests it can be delayed a bit


with our current series of the voice senior, the ''semi live'' final the recorded part of that has been delayed because of 2 crew members who had been tested positive for covid-19

so now filming has been halted and the premiere date also been moved

that's why you have to quarantine for two weeks before starting and since they don't deal with the public, it's safe

there is a form of audience here, but just done differently, more distance between each other, and mostly in sort of seating areas, like families can sit next to each other, but not random strangers


also at german live tv shows, also reduced number of audience, but the ''no audience'' is just too boring so we learn to adapt around these whole measures for now

They've already filmed season 13 apparently and start filming All Stars 6 next week so I'm sure they can get back to filming UK2 soon

afaik that's when quarantining begins, so filming should begin approximately two weeks afterwards

This was the perfect time for them to break from AS for a year
