After eight seasons, the BBC is ending the British version of “RuPaul's Drag Race,” in which drag queens compete against each other. A BBC spokesperson described the show as “groundbreaking” and said the decision was due to “significant financial pressure.”

We are facing very difficult choices.

The drag competition will now be streamed on a platform owned by the production company that makes "RuPaul's Drag Race UK".

The Swedish version of the program, "Drag Race Sweden", premiered on SVT and SVT Play in 2023.
