Racers, get ready for RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 6.
In the sixth installment of All Stars, Mama Ru has called back 13 lucky queens to compete in a series of challenges for $100,000 in prize money and a chance to be inducted into the Drag Race Hall of Fame. We already have a list of all the contestants and boy, is it exciting.
If you want to know more about RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars Season 6, we've compiled all the information you need, including cast, release date, and judges. And now that we know who will be participating, we know the competition will be fierce.
Paramount Plus will be the exclusive U.S. broadcast partner for Season 6 of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. The first two episodes will air on June 24, 2021, with subsequent episodes to be released one episode each Thursday.
Fans of the UK-based "RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars" will have to be a bit more patient. But given that new episodes of "Drag Race" and "All Stars" have always aired on Netflix the day after their U.S. broadcasts, the question is not when, but when they will be announced.
Last year's All Stars saw the exciting induction of Shea Koure into the Drag Race Hall of Fame. In doing so, she achieved much-needed redemption after her lip-sync loss to Sasha Velour in Season 9 of Drag Race.
This time around, 13 queens will battle it out for $100,000 in prize money and the chance to rub shoulders with past winners and legendary drag queens like Chad Michaels, Alaska, Trixie Mattel, Monet X Change, Trinity the Tack, and Shea Koule.
Several Reddit and Twitter leaks were already making the rounds on the Internet, and Paramount Plus officially announced the queens who will be joining All Stars Season 6 via Twitter. However, Ginger Minje, Pandora Box, and Yara Sofia return after competing in the previous season of All Stars.
As you can already see from the list above, season 11 seems to reflect well on the new cast, with Akelea C. Davenport, Raja O'Hara, Scarlett Envy, and Silky Nutmeg Ganache returning for the first time since 2019. This time, however, Evie Oddie will not be crowning them.
All Stars Season 6 will also include fan favorite Kylie Sonique Love as a representative of the transgender community, following RuPaul's Drag Race Season 13.
No official announcement has been made as to which judges will appear on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 6. However, it is almost certain that RuPaul's right-hand man, Michelle Visage, as well as Carson Kressley and the hilarious Ross Matthews, will take their seats on the judging panel.
What remains to be seen, however, is whether there will be guest judges. In the past, celebrities such as Ariana Grande, Jeff Goldblum, Bob Mackie, Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj, and Lady Gaga have appeared on Drag Race and All Stars.
Due to the pandemic, the latest season of Drag Race had to break this trend, with only a handful of guests appearing on the show over multiple episodes. However, actresses Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway were able to appear via video call, so even in the worst case scenario, there may be more zoom-based cameos in All Stars Season 6.
As many fans may have already noticed, the promo photo used to announce "All Stars" season 6 features a red and yellow color scheme reminiscent of a certain contestant from "Drag Race" season 13.
New York queen Tina Berner herself joined in on the joke that her signature color palette was being used in the promo, despite often being criticized while on the show.
Perhaps we will see Tina Berner's runway challenge in season 6.
