Happy Ru Year, everyone! A new season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is sashaying onto our screens today (3 Jan), and it’s set to be one of the most explosive yet, if cast interviews are anything to go by. Here’s how to watch it.
14 new queens are set to stomp the runway in the 17th(!) season of RuPaul’s Drag Race – and the official trailers for the show has given fans a sneak peek at the new cast and the guest judges.
Acacia Forgot, Arrietty, Crystal Envy, Hormona Lisa, Jewels Sparkles, Joella, Kori King, Lana Ja’Rae, Lexi Love, Lucky Starzzz, Lydia Kollins, Onya Nurve, Sam Star and Suzie Toot will all battle for the crown.
The guest judges for the season have been revealed as well, and baby, she’s got budget.
Katy Perry, Sam Smith, Quinta Brunson, Doechii and Adam Lambert are all set to make an appearance as well as season 16 fan favourite judge Law Roach and Hunger Games icon Hunter Schafer.
