Netflix ‘looking into’ issue with new Drag Race episode but temporary solutions offered

Great news, Drag Race fans! The latest episode is now available to watch on Netflix. But, eh, the bad news is that there’s a slight issue with how to watch it.

It was announced on New Year’s Eve that season 13 of RuPaul’s Drag Race would be begin streaming on Irish Netflix on Saturday morning and that day has now arrived. Since 8am, fans of the show have been taking in the latest offering but there has been some issues which Netflix are trying to address.

In a tweet, the streaming service wrote: ‘We’re aware of an issue with the new episode of Drag Race at the 20 minute mark and are looking into it. For now, going back into the episode and skipping to 21 mins should allow the episode to play in full. Sorry! We’ll update you when the issue is resolved.’

We're aware of an issue with the new episode of Drag Race at the 20 minute mark and are looking into it. For now, going back into the episode and skipping to ~21 mins should allow the episode to play in full. Sorry! We'll update you when the issue is resolved.

One follower suggested that selecting ‘Watch Credits’ will resolve the issue, to which Netflix replied ‘Oh, great tip. Yes, do this everyone! (For now…).’ Another person said that ‘if you click the little video, it reopens in full screen’ but it seems that this only works on laptops and not TVs.

Whatever the case, we all deserve a lazy TV Saturday and hopefully the solutions mentioned above will help you get your Drag Race fix while Netflix works to fully resolve the issue.
