Season Chronology
← Previous	All Stars 4
Next →	Season 12

The eleventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race was announced in January 2018. 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.

In May 2021 it was announced that A'keria C. Davenport, Ra'Jah O'Hara, Scarlet Envy, and Silky Nutmeg Ganache would return to compete on All Stars 6. A'keria placed 8th, Ra'Jah placed as a runner-up, Scarlet placed 9th, and Silky placed 11th.

About the Show

Trivia

• This season's featured RuPaul's Promo Look was not originally shot for the season.
  • The look made its debut on the sixth episode of All Stars 4.
  • It was also the first time when RuPaul wore different looks for the trailer and the promo photo.
• This season has/is...
  • the largest cast of contestants on RuPaul's Drag Race, featuring 15 queens.
  • the first non-elimination during the Snatch Game episode.
  • an average queen age of 29.3 years old.
  • Vanessa Vanjie Mateo, who was the first eliminated on Season 10, is the fourth queen to compete on the following season (and third consecutively), after Shangela, Cynthia Lee Fontaine, and Eureka.

  • Mercedes Iman Diamond, the first Muslim queen to ever compete on RuPaul's Drag Race.
  • Nina West, the third queen named Nina after Nina Flowers and Nina Bo'Nina Brown
  • Plastique Tiara, the first RuPaul's Drag Race contestant to reach one million Instagram followers while the season is still airing and therefore the quickest to reach said milestone since cast reveal. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo also reached one million Instagram followers while the season was still airing.
  • the third season where all queens have lip-synced for their life, after Seasons 3 and 4.
  • Yvie Oddly, the first contestant to win her season with only one maxi challenge win.
    • Yvie is also the third regular season winner to be a part of a double shantay with their later runner-up (Brooke Lynn Hytes), after Sharon Needles & Phi Phi O'Hara in Season 4 and Aquaria & Eureka O'Hara in Season 10. She is followed by Symone & Kandy Muse in Season 13.
    • Yvie is the fourth regular season winner to not win the ball challenge, Snatch Game, or rusical - after Raja, Bianca del Rio, and Sasha Velour.
  • the second season in which a queen (Ra'Jah O'Hara) lands in the bottom four times and is eliminated on her fourth lip sync, after Coco Montrese in Season 5.
• Season 11 is the first regular season...
  • ... since Season 5 to not have a queen representing New York City as one of the finalists.
  • ... to display a relationship or "showmance", between Vanessa Vanjie Mateo and Brooke Lynn Hytes.
  • ... not to feature a lip sync to a RuPaul song.
  • ... to have more than four queens simultaneously lip sync for their life.
    • This group consisted of A'keria C. Davenport, Honey Davenport, Plastique Tiara, Ra'Jah O'Hara, Scarlet Envy, and Shuga Cain.
• An "Untucked" photo was leaked during filming, confirming A'keria, Silky, and Vanessa. A fourth queen appeared in the photo but was too blurry to identify. Previously believed to be Ariel or Nina, the queen was confirmed to be Honey upon the airing of Good God Girl, Get Out.
• The Top 4 was accidentally leaked in a tweet by the official Drag Race Twitter account. It was an ad for the live filming of the grand finale and the Top 4's promo pictures appeared alongside RuPaul's. It has since been deleted.
