Oh henny, you think you’re tired ofback-to-back,dragged outDrag Raceseasons?How’s this for a shakeup? Season seven ofRuPaul’s Drag Race All Starsis set to be an all-winners season — yes, the one you’ve been dreaming about for years. The season will bring together eight winners ofDrag Race,All Stars,andDrag Race U.K.to compete for a second crown and a $200,000 cash prize. More importantly, it’ll send the gays into an absolute tizzy arguing overwhich season ofDrag Raceis actually best.Ru-mor has itthe queens won’t be eliminated, and will instead earn points that help them win the competition, butDrag Racehas yet to confirm that (which of course means, expect a twist in the first episode). What we do know, though, is the slate of queens returning to the show:

Jaida Essence Hall (season 12)
Jinkx Monsoon (season five)
Monét X Change (All Stars4)
Raja (season three)
Shea Couleé (All Stars5)
Trinity the Tuck (All Stars4)
The Vivienne (Drag Race U.K.season one)
Yvie Oddly (season 11)

Sure, the cast is missing some ofDrag Race’s biggest winners, like Bianca Del Rio, Bob the Drag Queen, or Aquaria. But it still sets up some nice drama. Can early-era queens like Raja and Jinkx keep up with the more recent winners? Will Monét and Trinity finally decide who the winner ofAS4was? How will The Vivienne’s drag play across the pond? Tune in when the season premieres on May 20 on Paramount+ — for once, you know you want to.
