It’s Official: Taylor Lautner Exits BBC Three’s ‘Cuckoo’ Ahead Of Season 5
BBC Three's Cuckoo is changing leads once again. Taylor Lautner (Twilight) has exited the series ahead of its fifth season. He first joined the show for season two back in 2014, when original star Andy Samberg exited due to his commitment to the Fox-turned-NBC comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Lautner's character Dale left Lichfield as the end of the show's fourth season after he and Rachel left to go travelling to Sierra Leone. Andie MacDowell has been set as the new lead for the series. She will play Ivy, the sister Ken never knew he had. 
RuPaul's Drag Race is getting a UK adaptation. BBC Three has ordered a local version of the global hit series, which is set to air in 2019. World Of Wonder are producing. Eight episodes have been ordered for the show's first season. “It is a dream come true to extend our royal family to the United Kingdom with our partners at BBC Three. I am beyond excited to celebrate the massive charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent of the Queen’s queens" RuPaul said. 
The fifth season of Cuckoo will premiere on BBC Three on Friday January 4th, when the complete season will be available to stream. 
BBC Three has released the trailer for the second season of Clique, which is set to premiere on Saturday November 10th.

As was the case with season one, the show's second season will air in a linear slot on BBC One and stream as a box-set on BBC Three. Production on season two is now underway ahead of a 2019 premiere.
