This season, 18 fierce fan-favorite queens are back with one thing on their minds: dominate!  With the return of the high-stakes “Tournament of All Stars” format, the competition reaches new heights across 12-episodes packed with jaw-dropping runway looks, unforgettable performances, and the kind of drama only Drag Race can deliver. The queens will be divided into three groups of six, each competing in their own bracket across three episodes. At the end of each bracket, the top two queens with the highest point totals will advance to the semi-finals and go head-to-head with the top queens from the other groups in another round of fierce competition. The tournament will culminate in an epic Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown grand finale episode, where the finalists will battle it out for a grand prize of $200,000 and a place in the coveted Drag Race Hall of Fame. 


Additionally, new episodes of Rupaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Untucked – available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ on May 8 – will take viewers behind the scenes to the backstage drama as the queens anxiously await their fate each week.
