‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Returns: Meet the Gag-Worthy Queens of Season 17

Season 17 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has arrived in what Emmy-winning host RuPaul Charles is calling the “splashiest season in herstory.”
The competition show will return Jan. 3 with 14 dazzling new queens. This season, the fresh faces will compete for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar” and a cash prize of $200,000.
In the premiere episode, the new cast of queens will show off their skills in “Drag Queens Got Talent” and this season will bring back more tea with the “Rate-a-Queen” scoring system — but as always, there may be a twist.
Fans will be able to get to know the Season 17 queens more in-depth on the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” YouTube channel later Wednesday as individual interviews from each queen will air live at 2 p.m. Et/11 a.m. Pt.
For a taste of what’s in store for Season 17, get to know the queens in their own words.
