The queens competing on the second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race Down Under have been unveiled.
Premiering 30 July, the new season will introduce 10 more sickening drag entertainers from Australia and New Zealand who will be competing in a variety of challenges, runways and lip-sync showdowns for the title of ‘Down Under’s Next Drag Superstar’.
In a statement, RuPaul said he’s “thrilled to produce and host” a new season of the series, and that he’s “only just begun” to spotlight the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent of the drag community in Australasia.
The guest stars are yet to be confirmed, but Michelle Visage and Rhys Nicholson will once again join RuPaul on the judging panel.
Season one premiered last year and saw Kita Mean conquer over competitors such as Art Simone, Karen from Finance and Scarlet Adams, winning a one-year supply of Revolution Beauty Cosmetics and a cash prize of $30,000.
The series boasted a plethora of iconic guest stars such as Taika Waititi, Kylie Minogue, Dannii Minogue, Troye Sivan, The Veronicas, Dame Olivia Newton-John, Raven and Rena Owen.
Down Under season two will be the seventh season of Drag Race to air in 2022 after season 14, UK vs the World, Espana season 2, All Stars 7, France season one and Canada season three.
It will air on Stan (Australia) and TVNZ On Demand (New Zealand), while international viewers can stream on the streamer of all-things drag, WOW Presents Plus.
