About the Show
Mama Ru is back with RuPaul's Drag Race, which features some of the most sickening queens to ever take the Drag Race runway. With panels including veteran judges Michelle Visage, Santino Rice, Carson Kressley, Todrick Hall and Ross Mathews sitting alongside RuPaul, this series is tucked to the edges with more tea, more shade and more twist-filled challenges than ever before.
