RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 11 Trailer Drops: See the Guest Judge Lineup and Tournament Format

Paramount+ is ready to crown its next drag superstar. The streaming service has unveiled the trailer for the upcoming 11th season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, giving fans their first look at what's in store when the competition returns next week.

The spinoff will once again employ the "Tournament of All Stars" structure, with returning queens divided into three separate brackets as they battle for supremacy.

How the Tournament Works

The competition kicks off with a preliminary round featuring three groups of six queens, each competing within their own bracket over three episodes. Following the bracket stage, the top two queens from each group—determined by point totals—will advance to the semi-finals for head-to-head matchups against the highest-performing queens from the other brackets. The season culminates in a "Lip Sync Smackdown for the Crown" grand finale, where finalists will compete for $200,000, an official makeup collaboration with Anastasia Beverly Hills, and induction into the Drag Race Hall of Fame.

An A-List Judge Lineup

This season brings considerable star power to the judging panel. Guest judges include Brian Tyree Henry, Bronwyn Newport, Christina Ricci, Cooper Koch, Evan Mulrooney, Gina Gershon, Jamal Sims, Janelle James, Juno Temple, Kate Hudson, La Toya Jackson, Law Roach, and Reneé Rapp.

RuPaul returns as host and head judge, with Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley, Ross Matthews, and Ts Madison rotating through the judging panel across episodes.

When to Watch

The first two episodes premiere Friday, May 8th on Paramount+, with new episodes rolling out weekly thereafter.
