"Looking forward to better days! I'm happy to announce the triumphant return of Ru Paul's Drag Race UK," Ru said in a statement. "Early in 2021, season 2 will arrive with all the hope, joy, laughter and glitter you've come to expect from our brilliant queens.

Amen to that.

The first season of Drag Race U.K. was a hoot and a campy, refreshing reminder of just how good the show can be when contestants show up to simply have fun. The Vivienne was crowned victor and fan favorites included Baga Chipz and Cheryl Hole.

As fans know, the spinoff isn't the only way to immediately tap into the world of Drag Race. In addition to the U.K. version, the show has aired international versions based out of Canada, Thailand, Holland and Chile. 

Start your engines, and may the spinoff that's best suited for yet another night of at-home entertainment win!
