Some notable names in the cast include Yvie Oddly's drag sister Willow Pill, while Daya Betty is part of the House of Methyd, and Maddy Morphosis is the first cisgender heterosexual male queen to take part in the show.
Fans are all that pleased that the show won't be returning to Netflix.

Big big shame that Drag Race USA will not be on @NetflixUK for UK viewers. Shortsighted decision which ultimately will mean less viewers than if it was on Netflix!

Drag race S14 isn’t isn’t going to be on Netflix. I feel for those queens because I just know UK viewing figures will be low.

I’m not paying for another streaming service and I’m sure it’s the same for a lot of others.
Well, we can't wait to see how this one turns out.
