Meet All the Queens of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Season 14
The one thing that really helped me get through the lockdowns and quarantines was the sheer amount of RuPaul's Drag Race content that came out. In 2020 alone, viewers were blessed with Drag Race season 12, All Stars season 5, and Drag Race Holland. And then 2021 brought us season 13, and the second season of Drag Race UK. It's been a lot, but there can never be too much RPDR content. Luckily, more is coming so so soon.
RuPaul's Drage Race season 14 is set to air early 2022, and we're going to get to see a whole new set of queens bring their charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent to the main stage with one even making show history. Here's everything we know so far:
When is season 14 airing?
The newest season is slated to hit VH1 on Friday, January 7 at 8 p.m. ET with a whole two-part premiere. Set your calendars, besties! The announcement for season 14 was confirmed back in November 2020, when RuPaul posted the casting call through social media.
The aftershow "RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked" will air immediately after the episode.
Who's judging this season?
As per usual, Mama Ru will be calling all the shots, but will be consulting the other judges on her panel. This will most likely include Drag Race regulars Michelle Visage, Ross Matthews, and Carson Kressley. We should also expect some extra-special celebrity guest judges. There's no telling who they might be, but Ru's had stars like Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, Normani, and even AOC on the show. So we can only hope that there's going to be a lot of exciting cameos.
What's the grand prize?
It's changed over the years because of inflation, economics, an all of that real-world math, but ever since season 4, the winner crowned "America's Next Drag Superstar" has typically won $100,000, a crown and scepter, a year's worth of makeup, and bragging rights. The large cash prize is for certain again this season. Of course, there are always twists that the show likes to add. In season 13, Ru added a $5,000 cash tip for maxi challenge winners, something that season 14 queens might be able to look forward to.
Who's in the cast?
There are 14 queens competing this season, with the first ever heterosexual cisgender male among the cast too, believe it or not. Check out the full list of contestants below:
