The time has finally come.
A new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is finally here and goodness, this is the Mardi Gras weekend gift we’ve all been waiting for.
The Emmy-winning show is back for it’s twelfth season and the first episode is available to watch on Stan today – the same day as the U.S.
Watch the official trailer for RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 12 below. Post continues after video.
With host and producer RuPaul at the helm, the new season will see thirteen new drag queens vie for the title of ‘America’s Next Drag Superstar’.
“Our producers have come up with twisted, outrageous challenges that raise the bar for all competition of reality,” RuPaul told Entertainment Weekly.
“Our celebrity guest judges are truly legendary. And this cast of queens is, dare I say, the most talented we’ve ever had. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a fresh crop of queens arrives and blows our minds all over again.”
We. Can’t. Wait.
Here’s everything you need to know about the brand new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
The celebrity guest judges are INSANE.
This year, RuPaul is expected to be joined on the judging panel by staple judges like Carson Kressley, Ross Mathews and Michelle Visage.
But the new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race will also feature an incredibly impressive list of celebrity guest judges.
While last year saw Miley Cyrus and Lena Waithe feature on the judging panel, this year’s list of guest judges is even more insane.
RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked is back.
As well as the return of RuPaul’s Drag Race, RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked will also return to Stan.
The companion series, which airs immediately after the main series, provides viewers an all-access pass to what they don’t see on the show, including backstage drama and secrets.
In the series, the backstage footage is narrated by RuPaul himself.
The cast has been assembled.
