RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars release date and how to watch it
The series premieres on August 16 on Stan.

Who are the RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars judges?
The queen of all queens RuPaul Charles will be the lead judge, joined by resident judge Michelle Visage, who recently took over as the host of Drag Race Down Under, and choreographer Jamal Sims.
A rotation of stars from across the show’s international franchise will also step in throughout the season as temporary judges.
“The world is not ready for RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars,” RuPaul said in a statement.
“Twelve queens representing their home countries raises the stakes to a whole new level. Plus, the international mix of charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent will, pardon my French, blow your f***ing minds.”
Is there a theme?
There is, it’s ‘Olympics of Drag’. The theme is a nod to how Drag Race is referred to in the drag community due to the intense challenges, preparation, skill and physicality required to take part.
Is there a Ru Paul’s Drag Race Global All Stars trailer?
There isn’t a trailer per se, however, there’s a loooong episode-length video introducing the contestants. You can watch it below.
