12 all-stars will compete for the title of “Queen of the Mother Tucking World” and to earn their spot in the International Pavillion Drag Race Hall of Fame.

Alyssa Edwards, who rose to fame in Season 5 of the original series and returned for “All Stars” Season 2, will represent the United States in this competition. The other international queens joining the “All Stars” lineup include Athena Likis (Belgium), Eva Le Queen (Phillippines), Gala Varo (Mexico), Kitty Scott-Claus (United Kingdom), Kween Kong (Australia), Miranda Lebrão (Brazil), Nehellenia (Italy), Pythia (Canada), Soa de Muse (France), Tessa Testicle (Switzerland) and Vanity Vain (Sweden).

This season looks bigger than ever with a fresh-looking runway and stunts bigger than before. In the new trailer, queens can be seen swinging on poles, flying on the trapeze and serving top-tier looks.

During Friday’s “All Stars 9” finale, Kamala Harris made an appearance in the Werk Room and called on Americans to make their voices heard and fight back for their rights in this election. She is the first presidential candidate to step foot on the set of “Drag Race.”

May the best Glamazon win!
