Queen of the Universe fans recently took to social media to vent their fury after it was revealed that the Eurovision-style series, produced by RuPaul, would be cancelled after just two seasons. The Paramount + reality TV series, hosted by Graham Norton, followed the journey of drag queens from across the world representing their countries for the chance to win $250,000. Fans will be able to continue to stream the episodes once it lands on WOW Presents Plus as a box set, reports Variety. Season two is set to become available globally (excluding the U.S) from 1 July, while season one is already available on the platform.

Mel B revealed that she “loved” being on the show’s judging panel as she gushed to Shondaland about having had the “best seat in the house” to watch the contestants' performances.

The Spice Girl said: “The whole show in general is exciting — and I have the best seat in the house. You don’t realize how much effort and work goes into the choreography, the styling, the hair, makeup, and the contour. From head to toe, it’s all spot-on. And if it’s not spot-on, they don’t get to go to the next round.”
