Watch 'Drag Race Down Under vs. the World' from abroad

Not at home right now and blocked from watching the next episode of "Drag Race Down Under vs. the World" on your usual subscription?

You can still watch the action live or on-demand thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear as if they're back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. Surfshark is the best-value option and works brilliantly with streaming services.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, Surfshark is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view an Aussie service, you'd select Australia from the list.

3. Sit back and watch the show. Head to Stan to watch "Drag Race Down Under vs. the World" (once episodes have streamed).

'Drag Race Down Under vs. the World' cast

While we know a bit about the host and panellists of 'Drag Race Down Under vs. the World' - see below to find out more - we don't know anything yet about the cast.

If the format of the show is similar to RuPaul's Drag Race: UK vs. the World, we'll see a plethora of familiar faces. This most likely will see previous contestants from Drag Race Down Under contend against other drag queens from the various international Drag Race series.

The one thing we can be sure of is that none of the winners of Drag Race Down Under will compete, as is precedent for the other 'vs. the world' formats. And also because most of the winners will more than likely be on the judging panel!

Who are the host and panellists of Drag Race Down Under vs. the World?

RuPaul may well be the star of the popular Drag Race franchise - which has spanned various language, countries and cultures - but Michelle Visage will be on hosting duties this time. There will almost certainly be a pre-recorded message from Queen of Drag herself at some point.

Like the main Drag Race Down Under, which saw RuPaul step away from the hosting hot chair after three seasons at the helm, Michelle Visage steps up from regular panellist to host once again. She will be joined by her previous fellow panellist Rhys Nicholson and season 4 winner Lazy Susan.

Regarding who will be on the revolving judging panel alongside those two - in a similar way to season 4 guests and previous Drag Race Down Under winners Isis Avis Loren, Kita Mean and Spankie Jackzon - we'll let you know when we find out.
