A new spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame is open, and the race to take home the crown is on with the premiere of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 9.
This season, eight returning queens will compete to be crowned winners. And in a whole new twist, receive $200,000 donated to a charity of their choice. And just like All the stars 7, meaning all winners, the eight queens will stay to compete for the duration of the season – it’s a non-elimination season!
THE All the stars Group 9 of queens includes two second-time stars, a former last place finisher, a Miss Congeniality, and the first-ever queen to enter the Werk Room in Season 1 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
