The eleventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race was announced in January.^[1] Casting began soon after, and later it was announced that fifteen queens will compete for the crown this season. Filming began in late May 2018, with the season premiere airing on Thursday, February 28, 2019.

The promos for this season were released during the airing of All Stars 4 in January 2019. Season 11's promo theme was "Larger than Life" with color blocked looks.

A RuVealed Special featuring Adam Rippon & Aquaria aired on January 24th, 2019 to announce the cast of this season on VH1's YouTube Channel, but has since been deleted due to its lack of planning.

The season 11 queen crowned "America's Next Drag Superstar" was Yvie Oddly, while Nina West was awarded the title of Miss Congeniality by her fellow castmates.
