Serving English eleganza!

Keep that English tea piping hot because the RuPaul’s Drag Race U.K. premiere is right around the corner—and now we have our first peek at Mama Ru on the international main stage.

Yes, it is only Ru's shadowy silhouette, but it's better than nothing. You think she would RuVeal her English eleganza look to her subjects this early? Come through, backlighting!

“I am beyond excited to celebrate the massive charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent of the Queen’s queens,” Ru said in a statement about the new international version. “And before anyone asks, yes, we would be thrilled to have Meghan Markle join us, as we are already preparing a ’Royal-Mother-to-Be’ runway challenge.”

According to BBC One, RuPaul’s Drag Race U.K. will premiere in October on BBC Three. Sadly there’s no update on if/when the star-studded U.K. version will air stateside, but we have faith that Mama Ru will make sure American fans get their cuppa English tea, too.

“Needless to say, we’re delighted that BBC Three will be the home of a new U.K. version of Drag Race,” Damian Kavanagh, controller for BBC Three, told BBC News.

“It is one of the biggest entertainment titles in the world and anticipation levels for a U.K. version have been at feverish levels,” he added. “With heart, humour and the un-imitable RuPaul, Drag Race is going to take BBC Three to a whole new level.”
