In a livestream, we got the unveiling of the queens in the season 15 cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race (seen below). It is the biggest lineup in the show’s history, with 16 competitors, who were shown off by former winner Willow Pill. The cast reveal pays homage to the cast reveal for the first season in 2009.
The next outing for the competition series will find a new home as it moves from VH1 to MTV, similarly seen from Dancing with the Stars, which moved to Disney+ for its latest season. It will also be available on Paramount+ for streaming viewers. From 2009 to 2016, it previously aired on Logo TV. While we will see the largest cast in RuPaul’s Drag Race history, we will also get the biggest cast prize as the winner will take home $200,000, with the previous record being $150,000 from season 14.
