RuPaul’s Drag Race season 15 has not been in the ground for even one week, but the Drag Race machine marches on, stopping for no queen. Next up: RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars season eight. We’ve got two Miss Congenialities, one previous finalist, one international queen, and, for the first time ever, two queens who were eliminated first their first time auditioning for the show. Is this a cast chock-full of Drag Race high achievers? No, we’re asking you. These queens will definitely be vying hard for Ru-demption. It’s going to be a hungry season. All Stars 8 will premiere on Paramount+ on May 12 with two episodes, and episodes will be released weekly thereafter. Below is the full list of queens and their official descriptions, according to a press release. Based on this motley crew, we’d have to place our very early stan cards with the incomparably individual Heidi N Closet — along with season two’s Jessica Wild, because we love this queen almost as much as she loves that drink.
