RuPaul’s Drag Race is back (back, back) again, with the thirteenth season of the Emmy-award winning reality competition just around the corner.
13 new queens will be facing off for the crown and mantle of America’s Next Drag Superstar, which will be inherited from season 12 winner Jaida Essence Hall.
“Competing safely and fiercely, our 13 queens proved that it takes more than a global pandemic to keep a good queen down,” said Executive Producer and host, RuPaul.
