WOW Presents Plus has confirmed that fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race will be able to watch the UK version of the show on WOW Presents Plus in Ireland.
WOW Presents Plus is a streaming service from the creators of RuPaul’s Drag Race. It showcases original series from Valentina, Detox, and Bob the Drag Queen, as well as an award-winning lineup of films, docs, drag, and LGBT+ shows.
Initially, WOW said that Drag Race UK would not be available to watch in the Republic of Ireland on the streaming network as it was thought that Irish viewers would be able to tune in on BBC iPlayer.
WOW confirmed to GCN that they have now reviewed this and the series will soon be available to stream from Ireland on WOW Presents Plus.
WOW Presents Plus will host new episodes weekly, launching each installment day-and-date with the UK edition’s screenings at 8 pm on the BBC Three iPlayer.
