Myki Meeks barely had five days to celebrate her Drag Race Season 18 win before the franchise moved on to something else. The Emmy Award-winning series just announced the cast for RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 11, and it is absolutely stacked.
18 queens are returning for another shot at glory and a big, fat $200,000 check. Here’s how it’s all shaking out.
Meet the queens returning for RPDR All Stars Season 11
Drag Race All Stars is back, back, back, back, back again, and just like last season, it’s the Tournament of All Stars format, with three different brackets consisting of six queens.
The 18 queens competing this season range from all across the U.S. franchise. You’ve got girls who were first-outs in their season, recent runner-ups, and two queens who are on their fourth attempt at a Drag Race crown. Here’s who is in each bracket.
Pink Bracket:
- April Carrion
- Aura Mayari
- Crystal Methyd
- Salina EsTitties
- Vivacious
- Silky Nutmeg Ganache
Orange Bracket;
- A’Keria C. Davenport
- Dawn
- Lucky Starzzz
- Morgan McMichaels
- Morphine Love Dion
- Mystique Summers
Purple Bracket:
- Hershii Liquor-Jete
- Jasmine Kennedie
- Joey Jay
- Kennedy Davenport
- Sam Star
- Shuga Cain
Each bracket will compete in a three-episode arc, with the queens earning points for their performances. The top three contestants from each bracket with the most points will advance to the semi-finals, where they’ll compete for the $200,000 grand prize.
Last season, this tournament format wound up becoming extremely controversial, with fans accusing the show of favoring Ginger Minj by loading up her bracket with challenges that catered to her skillset. When she wound up winning the whole thing, the fandom had a complete meltdown, so let’s all pray that this season doesn’t suffer the same fate. This cast is too sickening for that.
RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars returns to Paramount+ on May 8, along with RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars: Untucked.
