The flagship series will welcome a fresh group of drag queens eager to prove to the world that they can lip sync for their lives and have what it takes to be crowned “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” Meanwhile, “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” will see the franchise’s “most notable” queens return to prove to host RuPaul why they deserve another crown and a coveted spot in the “‘Drag Race’ Hall of Fame.”
The most recent 11th season of “Drag Race” wrapped up in May, with Yvie Oddly winning the crown, title and cash prize. The fourth season of “All Stars” wrapped up in February seeing a tie between Monét X Change and Trinity the Tuck for the win.
“RuPaul’s Drag Race” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” are produced by World of Wonder Productions with Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, Steven Corfe, Mandy Salangsang and RuPaul serving as executive producers. Tim Palazzola serves as executive producer for VH1 and Jen Passovoy serves as producer.
