Drag Race: When was RuPaul UK season 2 filmed? Where is the shows filming location? Mon 18 J

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK is back on BBC Three for a second season, but viewers are wondering when it was actually filmed.

As 12 queens demonstrate their uniqueness, charisma and skills (both on and off the stage), RuPaul is on the search for the star of the show.

Amongst the global pandemic, the question of when the contestants were able to compete for stardom has been raised by fans.

So when and where was RuPaul’s Drag Race season 2 filmed?

When was RuPaul UK season 2 filmed?

The second series of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK was halted midway through filming, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Four episodes were filmed before the UK was put into lockdown.

Filming resumed after the lockdown, in November 2020. So, the cameras came out during two completely separate time periods last year!

@RuPaul is literally doing the most and single handedly saving us all from the pandemic with two seasons of drag race at the same damn time. I am living for this. Thank you mama ru

Where was RuPaul UK season 2 filmed?

Contestants, as well as the talent and production team, were attending the studios for the BBC Three show before the lockdown.

The studios were reportedly left empty, with the plug pulled on the show.

But fans were in luck, as filming for the second season was able to be resumed at the studios in time for its release in January 2021!

After seeing how good S02E01 of Drag Race UK is, can we just put RuPaul in charge of global pandemic response at this point?
