Season 1	Season 3

The second season of RuPaul's Drag Race UK was officially announced November 7, 2019 on social media to be casting through World of Wonder until November 15, 2019.^[1] Production for this season was put on hold after filming began due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.^[2]

The cast of Season 2 was officially revealed on December 16, 2020, through the Drag Race UK social media. The promo theme is Pride, with each queen wearing a different color of the Progress Pride Flag. The season also released a Christmas promo for the holiday season, and a cast promo photo for Gay Times.

The season premiered on January 14, 2021, and ended on March 18, 2021, just over a year after the season began filming.

The winner of the season was Lawrence Chaney, with Bimini Bon-Boulash and Tayce placing as the Runners-Up.

Like with the first season, no official Miss Congeniality award was given. However, each of the queens said in interviews who they would have voted for the award. Bimini Bon-Boulash received the most votes, and is therefore considered the unofficial Miss Congeniality on the season.
