RuPaul's Drag Race has set its largest cast ever at (a sensible) 16 queens set to enter the Werk Room for season 15.
Among the new queens — revealed Tuesday in a livestream event hosted by reigning champion Willow Pill — are an aspiring pop star, a New York City theater pro, a pair of twin TikTok superstars, and an esteemed Miss Continental pageant winner who's also the mother of season 14 breakout Kerri Colby. Each of the queens posed for a promo picture with an aesthetic that paid tribute to the season 1 cast reveal that dropped via Logo all the way back in 2009.
Watch the video to see the cast.
Following a previously announced network shift from VH1 to MTV, the Emmy-winning World of Wonder-produced competition series' latest installment will also feature the largest prize in regular Drag Race her-story, with the queen who outlasts her season 15 sisters set to receive $200,000 — up from season 14's $150,000 pot, and double that of what winning queens have received since season 4.
In addition to the MTV move, the Drag Race franchise announced Monday that a Global All Stars season was in the works for the Paramount+ streaming service, alongside new international spin-offs in Brazil, Mexico, and Germany.
RuPaul's Drag Race season 15 premieres Friday, Jan. 6 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV, followed immediately by new episodes of Untucked. See the full cast of queens.
