BBC Three Relaunches on Linear with New Series

BBC Three has relaunched on linear television with a slew of new titles, including RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK Versus the World.

With the U.K. as the host nation, the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK spin-off sees queens from different franchises and cultures compete in an international arena, showcasing their country’s finest drag.

Also set for BBC Three is Mood, told in part through songs the 25-year-old wannabe singer and rapper Sasha creates. Nicôle Lecky stars in the main role.

A new competitive format, The Drop, captures the cultural synergy between fashion, music, sport, celebrity and business. Ten of Britain’s most promising up-and-coming creatives go head to head to win the chance to have their streetwear line stocked in a major U.K. retailer.

Coming February 9, The Fast and the Farmer-ish provides a glimpse into the lives of young farmers. Presented by Tom Pemberton, the series sees farmers and their tractors take part in challenges that put their driving skills and vehicle power to the test.

Also in the competitive arena, Hungry For It gives ten aspiring U.K. cooks a chance to prove their talent. The chefs will create dishes in an attempt to impress judges chef and rapper Big Zuu and personal chef Kayla Greer. Stacey Dooley hosts.

In Mist, each episode sees rapper Mist go head to head in a high-octane challenge against a celebrity, supported by expert driver Becky Evans and pro BMXer Ryan Taylor.

The dating reality show Love in the Flesh centers on real-life potential couples who have already formed relationships via dating apps and social media, but who have never physically met each other. The couples are whisked away from their daily lives to explore whether their online relationships translate into the real world.

BBC Three is reuniting with People Just Do Nothing’s Allan “Seapa” Mustafa for the new gym-based comedy series Peacock, about toxic masculinity. It centers on personal trainer Andy, who is in the midst of an identity crisis.

Also on BBC Three’s slate is the factual-based drama Life and Death in the Warehouse, inspired by the real-world accounts of warehouse workers from different companies in Britain and around the world. The series explores the working conditions in distribution centers, places where workers are subject to a grueling work regime and obsessive monitoring.

Fiona Campbell, channel controller of BBC Three, said, “We want audiences to see people on screen like them—people who have triumphed over adversity, who inspire, challenge and are having fun.”

She continued, “I want BBC Three to look and sound different to anywhere else, and I want to shout the loudest in every way we can that the BBC is there for you no matter where you are from and who you are.”
