The queens from the fifth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars are ready to tongue pop and death drop their way into the “werkroom”. The reality drag competition has “Ru-vealed” their roster of drag queens that will compete for the All Stars crown and a coveted spot in the “Drag Race Hall of Fame”.
The new All Stars season will debut on June 5 at 8pm ET/PT on VH1 — just in time for Pride Month. In February, it was announced that the series would air on Showtime as a special edition of the franchise which was seemed to be a move to build on the synergy between the premium cabler and its ViacomCBS sister channel VH1. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, there were scheduling and programming adjustments that made it pivot back to VH1.
