“Shut the f**k up!”: Canada’s Drag Race vs the World trailer is spicy as hell

From werkroom spats to Snatch Game: The Rusical, as well as a surprise appearance from Lisa Rinna, the first trailer for Canada’s Drag Race: Canada vs the World has it all.

Premiering 19 July, season two will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor and Drag Race UK vs the World by reintroducing nine fan-favourites from across global editions of the franchise as they compete to become the second Queen of the Mother-Pucking World.

The sickening cast is as follows: Alexis Mateo, Cheryl Hole, Eureka, Kennedy Davenport, La Kahena, Le Fil, Lemon, Miss Fiercalicious and Tynomi Banks.

In the trailer, several cast members come to blows as Tynomi tells Fiercalicious that she’s “being extra” and “stupid”, to which the Canada season four alum hits back, “You’re making things worse!”

After Alexis admits to being “actually furious” in a confessional, she is seen telling an unidentified queen to “shut the fuck up!” while Lemon tells one of her sisters, “Bitch, don’t try it.”

Cheryl also declares that she’s “not here to win Miss Congeniality again”.

As well as the drama, the trailer teases upcoming runways and challenges, in addition to guest stars such as season one winner Ra’Jah O’Hara, Lisa Rinna, Alessia Cara, Samantha Bee, Charlotte Cardin and Kirk Pickersgill.

Although we suspected that the season would, once again, see the top two contestants of the episode lip-sync for the win, the trailer sees the shock return of the Golden Beaver from Canada’s Drag Race season four.

If the Golden Beaver holds the same power as the aforementioned season, then the sole winner of the episode will choose to save one of the bottom three queens, leaving the two remaining bottoms to duke it out in a lip-sync for your life.

Season two will stream on Crave in Canada, BBC Three in the UK and WOW Presents Plus in other territories.
